Dyslexia is a reading learning disorder related to neuro-developmental problems. This means that the first symptoms of dyslexia are often easily recognized during childhood (frequent reading mistakes, difficulties in reading comprehension, etc.). If not treated properly, dyslexia-related difficulties persist into adulthood, becoming a major obstacle for adults with dyslexia. Fortunately, the symptoms of dyslexia in adults can be reduced if treated properly. CogniFit is the leading company in online cognitive training for the symptoms of dyslexia in adults.
Dyslexia in adults is often related to problems in several cognitive areas, such as language, memory, executive functions, and reaction time. CogniFit focuses on these cognitive problems and offers cognitive stimulation activities that can help reduce the cognitive symptoms of dyslexia in adults. Training is available from a computer, tablet or smartphone.
CogniFit's dyslexia in adults training aims to reduce the cognitive symptoms of dyslexia that result from cognitive impairment and promote reading. Reducing the symptoms of dyslexia can help adults improve their daily performance at work, at school, or in their personal lives.
In addition, training activities adjust to the user's specific characteristics, personalizing the training plan. CogniFit is a multi-dimensional tool that stimulates the main cognitive abilities most related to dyslexia in adults, through a variety of games and assessment tasks.
Note: CogniFit does not treat dyslexia in adults, but may help improve cognitive skills affected by this disorder.

CogniFit training for dyslexia in adults is dedicated to stimulating the most impaired cognitive abilities in dyslexia:
Memory
The ability to retain or use new information and recover memories of the past. Memory allows us to store internal representations of knowledge in our brain and retain events from the past to use them in the future. Learning is a key process in memory because it makes it possible to incorporate new information or modify existing information in the previous mental schemas. After this coding and storage, the information, the memory, or the learning should be prepared to be recovered in the future. The hippocampus is a key brain structure in the mnesic process, and works actively during sleep to consolidate the information acquired during the day.

Visual Short-Term Memory
The ability to retain a small amount of visual information (letters, shapes, colors, etc.) for a short period of time. Adults with dyslexia often have difficulty retaining visual information, which is most obvious when it comes to remembering letters or words.

Naming
The ability to refer to an object, person, place, concept or entity by name. Adults with dyslexia often have trouble remembering or recognizing a word.

Working Memory
A set of processes that allow us to store and temporarily manipulate information to perform complex cognitive tasks such as language comprehension, reading, mathematical skills, learning, or reasoning. Studies indicate that working memory and some of its sub-components (such as phonological loop) are impaired in people with dyslexia, with poorer performance on tasks that depend on this cognitive function.

Perception
Ability to interpret the stimuli of the environment. Perception is responsible for identifying and making sense of the information received from our sensory organs based on our prior knowledge of the world. Perception is a process that can be given by different senses (like sight, hearing, touch, etc.), and that our brain is responsible for integrating, giving it a sense of whole. The brain areas associated with perception are responsible for uniting the information perceived by the different sensory organs so that we can interact effectively with external stimuli, regardless of the stimulated sensory organ. In order for the perceptual process to be carried out properly, a process of assimilation and understanding of the information received will be necessary.

Visual Scanning
The ability to actively search for relevant information from our environment, quickly and efficiently. Adults with dyslexia have greater difficulty in locating certain stimuli in their environment, especially when it refers to specific letters within a text.

Reasoning
Ability to efficiently use (order, relate, etc.) the information acquired through the different senses. Through executive functions, we can access and use the information acquired in order to achieve complex goals. This set of superior processes makes it possible for us to relate, classify, order and plan our ideas or actions according to the needs that are imposed in the present or future. They allow us to be flexible and adapt to the environment. The executive functions make it possible to be effective in our day to day lives, solve problems and achieve our objectives even if there are modifications in the original plan.

Processing Speed
The time it takes a person to do a mental task. It has to do with the speed at which a person captures and reacts to the information they receive, either visually (letters and numbers) or auditory (language). Adults with dyslexia usually require more time to process the read information.

- To help modify the functioning and structure of the brain in order to favor the day-to-day life of adults with dyslexia. To this end, CogniFit training uses a system that personalizes the training to the user's current condition.
- Reduce the different symptoms related to the various cognitive abilities affected by dyslexia in adults.
- Improve reading and activities related to the written language in adults with dyslexia, promoting academic and work performance.
- Encourage a healthy emotional and social condition in adults with dyslexia. Reducing symptoms can help improve self-esteem and confidence in certain social situations.
How does it strengthen cognitive function?
How does it strengthen cognitive function?
CogniFit training helps to activate and strengthen the brain networks involved in the main cognitive abilities most affected by dyslexia.
Brain plasticity is a mechanism by which our brain changes some parameters of its neural connections to adapt to the stimulation it receives. For this reason, carrying out cognitive training that adapts to our needs with the appropriate frequency can stimulate certain neural activation patterns altered in dyslexia. Thus, we can help our brain perform certain daily activities with greater ease.
CogniFit brain training activities will focus on stimulating the different areas of our brain involved in reading, which are often altered in adults with dyslexia, thereby helping reduce symptoms.

Since dyslexia is a reading acquisition disorder, it is best to begin treatment as soon as possible. However, it is common to not detect this disorder early and not receive the appropriate treatment. Adults with dyslexia may have a wide range of difficulties in their daily lives, as reading is a common activity in academic, professional, or even leisure settings. These difficulties often result in lower quality of life, poorer academic or job performance, and social problems for dyslexia in adults.
On the other hand, adequate and systematic treatment can help improve altered cognitive abilities in dyslexia and reduce its symptoms. CogniFit training for dyslexia in adults may help adults with dyslexia improve their cognitive abilities. CogniFit training is multi-dimensional and systematic, promoting brain plasticity especially in areas involved in reading.

Our needs are different and therefore the training time that each adult with dyslexia may need varies. CogniFit gives you the opportunity to choose the frequency of your training. Each training session lasts 15-20 minutes. It is recommended to perform a minimum of one session per day, 3 days per week. However, these can be increased or decreased depending on the specific needs of the user.
A training session for adults with dyslexia is always structured around three activities: two sets of cognitive stimulation for dyslexia and an evaluation task. Thus, it is possible to stimulate and automatically monitor the user's progress.
