Fidget to Focus. Can a chair make you smarter? Varier's Move stool utilized in comprehensive study of ADD/ADHD children to evaluate how "movement while sitting" aids in concentration and cognitive ability.ORLANDO --(Business Wire)-- Longtime ADHD researcher Dr. Mark Rapport believes movement is a key component in the ability of certain children to focus. A published study concluding in 2009 by the Department of Psychology, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL. investigated whether children's activity level is functionally related to working memory demands. Move Stool encourages movement while sitting. (Photo: Business Wire) Following this, a second comprehensive 2 year study by UCF was undertaken in 2010 in which the Move stool was selected for use due to its unique ability to encourage movement while sitting. The data is still being analyzed, but according to researchers, the children involved in the study, when asked, overwhelmingly and uniformly preferred the Move stool to the control chair. It should be noted that neither the UCF nor Dr. Rapport makes any suggested or implied endorsement of any product.
