Response speed: Most learning problems begin with a dissonance between the rate of stimulation and ability of the learners neurons to accept and process that stimulation. Response Speed, the most basic executive process, indexes the speed of neural transmission, a Personal Equation for each learner.Our response speed measures, indicate the rate at which our learner processes information. Scaling an individual learners Response speed is critical information for psychologists, teachers or anyone who is concerned with effective learning. Indexing a learner's response speed is most critical in schools where rate and complexity of the stimulation progresses in an orderly time-bound fashion and the Response Speed itself varies widely among the learners. Regardless of the time bound demands of the public school curriculum, a learner will accept new information only on the basis of the rate of neural transmission of his own individual nervous system.

This response speed test is primary among Bloomer's Developmental Neuro-psychological Assessments (DNA), a series of independent tasks designed to activate specific neuro-cognitive executive processes which underlie school-type learning in both children and adults. These Neuro-cognitive Processes are routine executive procedures which the brain performs in order to manipulate or transform in-coming stimulation into appropriate responses. The efficiency of these processes underlies the effectiveness of an individual's learning. Bloomer's Developmental Neurological Assessments measures these processes to determine the skill of the learner with the brain's ability to manipulate or change verbal stimulus materials to derive an appropriate response.
