Mastermind Cognitive Training, Inc.

Mastermind Cognitive Training, Inc. is a United States-based education technology company headquartered in Naperville, Illinois. It develops cognitive skills assessment and training programs designed for schools and learning environments. The company's core offering, the Mastermind Learning Readiness Profile, assesses students' cognitive abilities such as focus and attention, response inhibition, working memory, processing speed, and object tracking. These skills are scored against age-specific ranges, and the profile identifies the highest-leverage skills to build first, along with classroom pacing recommendations. The company positions its product as an instructional tool rather than a medical diagnosis, emphasizing that it is generated automatically from baseline assessments without requiring specialist evaluation hours. Mastermind's training approach is built on the scientific question of whether targeted practice can strengthen the cognitive skills behind how people take in, hold, and act on information. The company states that its programs create engaging, measurable experiences that challenge attention, processing, memory, reaction time, and executive function. Progress monitoring is embedded into the training schedule, with reassessment every 24 training sessions to document student growth. This data is intended to be used alongside academic assessments in IEP (Individualized Education Program) planning. The company cites independent research, including a registered clinical trial at the University of Bedfordshire (ISRCTN75915439, N=168) that measured students before and after training and found significant improvement in attention. Mastermind also references findings of 3× growth in working memory and processing speed across its studies. CEO Dominick Fedele has publicly discussed the shift in family concerns from grades to cognitive skills like focus and retention, and the company's commitment to naming and measuring the specific skills it trains. Mastermind operates primarily in the education sector, supporting learners across education, sports, and other performance environments.

Mastermind Cognitive Training, Inc. was founded on the scientific question of whether the right practice can strengthen the cognitive skills behind how we take in, hold, and act on information. The company was built around the idea that engaging, measurable experiences can build these skills through steady practice. It is headquartered in Naperville, Illinois, United States. The company developed the Mastermind Learning Readiness Profile, an assessment tool that evaluates cognitive skills such as focus and attention, response inhibition, working memory, processing speed, and object tracking. The profile is generated automatically from a baseline assessment and scores each skill against age-specific ranges. It identifies the highest-leverage skills to build first and provides classroom pacing recommendations. The company emphasizes that the profile is an instructional tool, not a medical diagnosis, and that it requires no specialist evaluation hours to schedule. Mastermind embedded progress monitoring into its training schedule, with reassessment every 24 training sessions. This allows schools to document each student's growth over time, using the data alongside academic assessments in IEP planning. The company cites a registered clinical trial at the University of Bedfordshire (ISRCTN75915439, N=168) that measured students before and after training and found significant improvement in attention. Mastermind also reports 3× growth in working memory and processing speed across its studies. CEO Dominick Fedele has been featured in Forbes (May 2026) discussing the shift in family concerns from grades to cognitive skills like focus, retention, and following directions. He acknowledges skepticism toward brain training and states that Mastermind's answer is to name the skills it trains, measure them directly, and stay honest about what the evidence shows. The company supports learners across education, sports, and other learning and performance environments, with a goal to create experiences that actively challenge attention, processing, memory, reaction time, and executive function in a meaningful and measurable way.
