Science and honest limits

General learning research is separate from evidence about Brain Elixir. These are selected research examples, not a comprehensive literature review.

Does spacing study sessions help?

What research suggests

Cepeda and colleagues’ 2006 meta-analysis examines spacing in verbal recall tasks. Outcomes depend on the interval before testing.

How Brain Elixir relates to this idea

Polyglot introduces the idea of revisiting words. An app spaced-repetition algorithm is not confirmed.

What we do not claim

We do not promise a universal study schedule or memory improvement from Brain Elixir.

Cepeda et al. (2006), Psychological Bulletin, 132(3), 354–380. DOI: 10.1037/0033-2909.132.3.354

Does getting better at a game prove everyday benefits?

What research suggests

Simons and colleagues’ 2016 review questions broad claims that brain-training benefits transfer to everyday cognitive abilities.

How Brain Elixir relates to this idea

We describe games as tasks and mental activities, not proven treatment.

What we do not claim

We do not claim disease prevention, higher intelligence or clinical effectiveness for the app.

Simons et al. (2016), Do “Brain-Training” Programs Work? Psychological Science in the Public Interest, 17(3).

How does repetition relate to habits?

What research suggests

Lally and colleagues (2010) studied repeated behaviours in consistent contexts. The development of automaticity varied between participants.

How Brain Elixir relates to this idea

Small everyday actions shape the Brain Elixir journal. This is an editorial approach, not a demonstrated app effect.

What we do not claim

We do not promise habit formation within a fixed number of days or results from using the app.

Lally et al. (2010), European Journal of Social Psychology, 40, 998–1009. DOI: 10.1002/ejsp.674
