Since founding at UCLA, we’ve been using neuroscience to enhance the language-learning experience for students. Backed by real testing data, Gabb has been proven to result in more effective learning and better performances.
In our work at UCLA, executives use their neuroscience backgrounds to understand the brain mechanisms that support context-dependent learning. From our group of participants, we scanned their brains with functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI. As the subjects attempted to recall foreign words while in the scanner, their brain activity indicated that they were thinking about the context in which they had learned each word. Thus far, findings suggest that virtual reality can enhance learning if it is convincingly produced.
We welcome thoughtful, forward-thinking proposals from researchers worldwide. Gabb scientists screen each application for rigor, feasibility, and the potential for the study to move scientific understanding forward. Successful applicants receive free access to Gabb VR’s tools and, in certain cases, limited access to data on cognitive performance. Currently, research partners are exploring topics such as normal aging, certain medical conditions, and the relationship between physical exercise and Gabb training.
Gabb Global pairs the fun and interactive elements of VR that kids love with sophisticated monitoring and engagement tools for kids and parents to ensure that the students are progressing.
