Ron Hubbard’s theories on education identifies three “barriers to learning”: the absence of mass, pertaining to the lack of a physical object relating to a concept. Second, a steep study “gradient,” meaning a necessary previous step was skipped to master a skill, and third, the “misunderstood word,” which necessitates looking up unclear words in the dictionary. Students are taught that "misunderstood words" are the cause of all confusion or misunderstanding. They are taught to use dictionaries extensively. Emphasis is also put on making sure children are taught at a "gradient", or the idea that subjects crucial elementary concepts, come before more difficult concepts. "Mass" is described as a measure of mental tangibility that a student ascribes to a subject, so that the student has a picture in their mind of the 'thing they are learning about. Applied Scholastics licenses Study tech to a number of schools throughout the world. In return, these schools pay 4% of their gross income to Applied Scholastics.〔(ABLE license contract for the use of Applied Scholastics trademarks ) (PDF format.
