  Modules :
There are six modules designed to test the basic ability of an individual in terms of Memory & Concentration. Needless to say this is the most important basic skill for not just to survive but also to thrive in this competitive environment. Each of the six modules tests the six variants of Memory & Concentration in an individual, namely:
1. Picture recognition
2. Paired Associate Learning
3. Immediate Recall
4. Serial processing
5. Parallel processing
6. Recognition and Recall
Time required : Half hour per competitor.
Installation : The contents of the CD is downloaded into any number of stand-alone computers in the computer lab. This requires an installation process which is explained in detail in the accompanying user manual.
 
  About the Software :
Life skills like any other skills requires constant practice to hone it.
People have the tendency to take these skills for granted and over a period of time it rusts from lack of practice.
Children on the other hand have lot of opportunities to practice in their daily interaction and learning and they retain their skills at Memory and concentration.
Our software modules are six and are built on the premises of connections elucidated by neuropsychologists related to these skills.
The software teaches the techniques required to develop the skill apart from evaluating the existing capability
The person whose skills are good stands out as the "smart" one.
Unlike Videogames, our modules are programmed in such a way that your computer itself random generate the scenes from a large database. So everytime one plays the modules, they have to use the skills to get good scores. Hence is a training software as well
  System Requirement :
IBM PC or compatible (Pentium or higher)
64 MB RAM or more
30 MB free hard disk space
CD ROM Drive
Super VGA (800x600) colour or higher resolution display monitor
Mouse compatible with MS Windows
Software - MS Windows 98 or above (XP preferred)
  Security :
A state of the art Security has been built to register the software in the Personal computer.
The details of "How to register" are explicitly explained in the User manual in the DVD box.
Internet connection is required for a few minutes only to generate the license key for registration of the software. Upon registration the software will be activated. By just clicking on the MBS icon on your desktop, one can get into the software any number of times. In order to ensure the privacy of each individual's progress and scoring, we have provided the option for each user to enter his/her own personal access information. Users may want to write down their personal username & passwords.
  Is there a money-back guarantee?
No, not possible for following reasons:
The improvement is non-tangible and experienced by the user how he/she feels compared to earlier times. But the improvement in memory and concentration can be well documented and retrieved from 'history' in the software, for personal or institutional perusal.
The benefit cannot be hence measured, except to show as improvement in performance not only in their work on the software but also in their day-to-day vocation. This depends on the application ability of user.
The derivations of benefit from this software depend on the user, their interest, and their commitment to practice daily or frequently etc., and are not under our control.
Advantages of MBS to Student
This helps in development of both right and left hemispheres of the brain.
"Self awareness" of an individual's capability in each of the six modules of memory and concentration.
It throws light on deficiency related to the six dimensions.
Training in that particular dimension will help enhance their capability.
One can keep track of their enhancement of each of these dimensions by observing the time taken to complete the module and scores obtained.
A graphic display of this will summarize the individual's ability.
By repeated attempts, each of these modules constitutes by itself a training module by virtue of random selection of sequences by the computer.
The feedback provides insights into possible errors and deficiency- Rectification of this help in enhancement of Basic Skills.
Lastly and most importantly, practicing these life skills in their day-to-day interaction will sharpen the skills- effectively make them more 'smarter'.
Advantages of MBS to Institutions
A complete database of the students in the institution and their profile and particulars are available
A graphic representation of scores of all modules of all the students helps determine the group in need of more attention.
The database can also show the improvement of each student in his / her subsequent performances at each level in each module.
Any student lagging can be identified for professional help.
Corelation of the life skills of each student or a group with their academic performance can be plotted and projected.
The projected results will bear significant role on appraisal and prediction of results in their academics.
By an organized programming, where students are made to repeat these modules at least three times in a year, the software will throw light on the overall improvement in their performance.
Improved performance of students corelates as Improvement in standard and quality of the institution.
Other Advantages
This software can be used as selection criteria during admission to the institution.
Printout of the final graphic display of the performance of each student can be handed over to the parents and kept as record.
Forming groups based on performance can be an incentive for students to better themselves.
Teaching staff and management can include this as part of their monitoring.
Software can be used as a competitive tool in the classroom and between different sections.
Additional Uses of the Software
To organize competition between schools in a district, in the state and later in the country- champion as 'Master of Basic skills'
With different and more number of such modules, a competitive programme for students can be organized on media like TV with the help of sponsorship from companies.
