Honolulu, HI (PRWEB) April 30, 2009 -- uBoost announced the launch of its latest client integration with Scientific Learning's interactive, online learning program, BrainSpark. BrainSpark is designed for children ages 5 - 13 and offers exercises that work together to produce lasting improvements in brain fitness, focusing on five cognitive building blocks critical to learning success: speed, processing rate, attention, recall and memory, and knowledge.

"uBoost's platform will reward students in real-time for the activities they complete in BrainSpark," says John Bower, CEO of uBoost. "As students earn recognition for incremental performance, their confidence and engagement are boosted. Students' belief in their ability to achieve competency leads to increased intrinsic motivation to learn and succeed."
