Double Decision

Double Decision is the current version of the speed training cognitive intervention used in the ACTIVE study

How quickly and accurately can you see details—including in your peripheral vision–when looking straight ahead? The size of this area is called your “useful field of view.”

Double Decision uses a uniquely proven technology to speed up processing and expand useful field of view.

This technology has been used in numerous studies—including the landmark ACTIVE study—where it has usually been referred to as “speed training.”

Speed training was originally developed by Dr. Karlene Ball and Dr. Daniel Roenker, who made it available through Visual Awareness, Inc. In 2008, Posit Science acquired Visual Awareness and worked with Dr. Ball and Dr. Roenker to create Double Decision—an updated version of the technology

Currently, the patented speed training technology is only available in BrainHQ through Double Decision.

The task changes (and gets harder!) in several ways

As studies in the Journal of the American Medical Association and others have shown, the speed training technology improves cognitive function, enhances driving safety, makes it easier to keep up with the busy demands of a modern life, reduces the chance of depression, and even helps people retain independence.
