Adventure-Blog: Knowledge-Adventure News Knowledge-Adventure Brings Cognitive Development Tool to K-12: November 27, 2007 by Dave Nagel  Knowledge Adventure, a developer and publisher of software for education, has inked a deal with Learning Enhancement Corp. to distribute its BrainWare Safari to K-12 schools. LEC's BrainWare Safari takes a gaming approach to build cognitive abilities in young learners. BrainWare Safari is a cognitive development tool that covers 41 individual cognitive skills (including visual processing, auditory processing, memory, attention, sensory integration, and thinking) using 20 exercises that target multiple skills simultaneously. In the game, kids go on a "learning safari" with a cast of jungle characters through 168 progressively more challenging levels. BrainWare Safari retails for $349 for the single-user version. It includes the game itself, a user guide, a BrainWare Safari Journal, and an assessment system (called the BrainWare Safari Behavioral Rating Scale) for evaluating cognitive development before and after using the system. Adventure Blog Comment: Knowledge adventure - as it is - exclusively falls in the domain of human experience and human action only, and not in the domain of animal experience or action at all. We humans have been endowed with gray matter for that. And the tool we got from the nature for the purpose was curiosity as one of the most basic drives humans are born with. But the way we are brought up by the existing human culture on earth, curiosity gets repressed in the deep and dark corners of the mind getting replaced with anxiety and mental hurry on the surface. It's then only that we need taking support of cognitive development tools like BrainWare Safari as an artificial excitement to the brain that otherwise has been rendered dull and inactive in the absence of the curious human interaction with one another and share knowledge in order to be able to go for a spontaneous knowledge management. We try to replace human interaction for knowledge with the interaction (?) with machines! (I tried them once on my brain too!) Poor we!
