Brain training games claim to improve your memory, attention, and reasoning skills. Some even say they help prevent the onset of dementia. Problem is, they don’t really work.

16.07.2022If you want to increase your iq, don't do brain games, eat certain foods that increase blood flow to the brain, exercise more as that increases blood flow to the brain, of course get decent sleep, and practice specific skills that iq tests require, such as spatial skills by improving your spatial working memory (play more action video games) to some extent

16.07.2022After their annoying ads I decided to give it a chance to Elevate and I paid the Pro version for the astronomical amount of 19 USD per year. And my conclusion was… the app is actually pretty cool.
Games are not going be make you Einstein but they’re pretty good to keep you active. The calculation games are really useful. What I find interesting is that most people hate brain games, and consider any type of development as a waste of time.

16.07.2022I would have to know how old these test subjects are, and how long they trained a day. Also, 2 weeks is no where near enough time to get any results. You don't go to the gym for two weeks and gain muscle. A typical semester in school takes 4 months. If there is a difference in iq over that span of people that go to school over time, vs those that dont, then I don't see why the games won't help. You would need 15-30 mins of practice a day though… not a measly 5.

15.07.2022So if you want to train your brain, the only way you can do so is if you choose what you’re lacking in and build that skill by doing it in the real world.

15.07.2022Don't be deceived by uncertain science. If you are playing a game that really challenges your brain, and do it overtime, you will get better and better in that specific area.
If the game challenges your to do fast calculations, eventually you will be able to calculate faster in real life, so yes, you can transfer your abilities from the game to real life. It's a very logical and provable conclusion that I have proved myself.

14.07.2022Actually, there are conflicting studies on this…some indicating that the brain can be trained using these sort of exercises (and that generalization to “real life” can occur) and some that don’t. Part of the reason for this is that the studies aren’t all measuring the same things,using the same “definitions”, or using comparable study designs.
The question is still very much “up in the air”, but there HAS been enough positive research results )and case studies) to suggest that the right kind of brain training, of the right intensity, and for the proper cognitive task CAN produce lasting results.
But it’s not as simple as just doing a bunch of puzzles on Luminosity and then expecting miraculous results. It may very well be that some cognitive processes are inherently much more difficult to change than others are, for instance. We don’t fully know yet.
But clearly, the brain CAN change and people CAN develop new capabilities. If this weren’t the case then learning new things, meditating, therapy for stroke patients and those with PTSD, ect would be pointless and impossible. And that’s clearly not the case.

13.07.2022The real question is if you can 'Brain' your Train
Peter Wosny
13.07.2022Nice video. I get the idea, that the IQ is s. th. you‘re born with, but I never quite understood the claim, that you can‘t improve it. I mean: I always saw the intelligence and the brain like a muscle. You might be a good runner or a bad, but training will make you a better runner even if you‘ll never archieve gold medals.
So my thesis:
(1) You‘re born with a certain IQ range. If you live a normal „job“ life, different IQ tests will measure around the same number.
(2) If you have little input, you‘re IQ will be at the lower end of your range
(3) If you have multiples inputs and train your brain with math, languages, books etc. you will reach the top of your range, but you won‘t be able to surpass that.
(4) If you damage your brain (alcohol, bad food, no exercice) your IQ might drop beyond your lower end
(5) I think, it is possible to train your IQ, because you can train the different aspects of an IQ test. So you score better. But this doesn‘t only improve your score, but also your intelligence, because that is, what intelligence is in general: your cognitive capacity to solve problems.
What do you think about these 5 thesis?

13.07.2022I find elevate has some real specific real world benefits. The math and reading exercises, spelling etc.. It's great

13.07.2022I heard a parent trying that kind of game for her child, the matching pair game type. I supected it won't work. Turns out research shows it really doesn't translate to other subjects.
But, how about flashcards for learning certain subject that needs memorization, like geography, or foreign language vocabulary? Does it help at least just for memorizing those specific lessons?
Also, how about more methodic brain training instead? How about the impact of more methodic methods like Shicida on memory or memorization skill?

12.07.2022Doing things repetitively helps you to do those things better in the future. Stop trying to make unrelated things happen.

12.07.2022Why would any one expect memory practice brains to help improve deduction skills… that’s silly, it is like going to the Gym and only do workouts for your legs and wonder why are your biceps not doing better??? Dughhh you need to improve different areas with different brain games not only one thing.
Scott Damery
12.07.2022I can tell you, DIET affects the Brain…..Ketones power the brain and sugar is killing the brain, as well as blue light…..also EMF has an affect on the brain abilities. Stop reading this immediately …just shut this off and go for a walk.

12.07.2022Only 2 weeks?
If takes months, even years to gain/notice results in the gym.
So, why are you relying on a study that only went on for 2 weeks for the brain? When it might require a longer time frame for results to be noticeable?
Claudia Barchilon
12.07.2022You absolutely can train your brain. I really think cognitive abilities are just as trainable as physical abilities.😊👍

12.07.2022SC2 players have been able to translate their genius to other games and even tasks. They tend to excel in every other e-sport. But maybe that's because playing SC2 at a high level alone provides with such an amazing, almost unearthly skill set that, if you can't do anything else with such an umbrella of capabilitied, jokes on you. The problem comes when dummy games claim to make you better in general while not developing any skill but to remember specific stuff for the game.

12.07.2022so you can get better at something by playing videogames but when you want to adapt the skills to another activity it doesnt work?
