PACE Research Results from 2001

Results of tests from the Woodcock Reading Mastery Test, Gibson Cognitive Test Battery, Lindamood Auditory Conceptualization Test, and Detroit Tests Of Learning Aptitude.

Please Note: Master the Code was in development during 2001. Approximately 380 students have completed or are now going through the program. In most cases the results below reflect only 19 hours of instructor guided MTC training what was given in conjunction with PACE. We expect even better results as we collect data on those students who have fully completed Master The Code.

PS = Processing Speed; SA = Selective Attention; RF = (letter) Reversal Frequency; FIXV= Calling out a vertical column of numbers (processing speed); FIXH = Calling out a horizontal row of numbers (processing speed); TRCK = Tracking a line with other lines present (processing speed and selective attention);WJ3 = Visual matching from the Woodcock-Johnson Cognitive Test Battery (processing speed); RFRQ = Reversal frequency test from Gardner
The following tests are from SOI-LA (Structure of Intellect - Learning Abilities Test): VISZ = The ability to picture a complete system of ideas in the mind - critical for understanding long sentences, directions, and instructions; CFU = Test of visual closure - to recognize familiar figures that have been partially obscured; CFS = Ability to comprehend arrangements and positions of visual objects in space; CFT = Ability to recognize a figure when it has been rotated into a new orientation; EFU = The ability to evaluate and discriminate among complex figures; VMEM = Visual memory; STM = Short term memory; AMEM = auditory memory; VMTR = Eye-hand speed and coordination; NSI = Logic and form reasoning; CMR = Ability to see relations between ideas or meaning of words; CMU = Test of vocabulary and verbal concepts; ESC = Ability to classify symbolic information.
TONI-2 = Test of Nonverbal Intelligence (measures the ability to reason without words and to solve spatially defined problems. An IQ score of 100 is considered average.)
