Publications

HOBSCOTCH is scientifically proven to work. Our peer-reviewed publications document the efficacy of HOBSCOTCH and the methods from which the program draws.

Our publications also summarize the findings of randomized-controlled trials with over 100 participants, which demonstrated the ability of HOBSCOTCH to improve quality of life and aspects of attention and memory.
