I use the dual n-back training since I read an article about it in 2009 and purchased it then. It may sound like a commercial but the discovery of that program really changed my life. I use it approximately three times a week between one and three sessions a training day for about fifteen minutes a session. The program that worked best for my workout is the simple free JAVA application that I linked above because it contains no unnecessary and distracting elements like the other programs. I don't use it as a "game". While a workout, I make sure that my environment is quiet and that I don't get disturbed during the sessions. The capacity of my memory has increased dramatically. I now understand things much more easily because I can store and recall all the necessary information much more quickly. A part of my work is to stand in front of people and to give speeches. The training works for me perfectly since I barely lose my train of thought in conversations or during the speeches. I don't use useless filling words anymore because thoughts come much faster now. It seems also that now I much better remember things that happened the time before I started the training. I highly recommend everyone not just to try the dual n-back training, but also to stick to the training and take it seriously.

10.12.2024The perfect mental game is called chess. Hikaru Nakamura is the best in the world (In my opinion, but 4th officially) his iq is 102. Nothing special, just an ability that he develop over the years
@renmachado1820
10.12.2024Drawing, Painting, learning a language and playing an instrument are big ways to strengthen the mind and slow down mental decline that's what I read online in many different forums that was backed up by science.
@renmachado1820
10.12.2024When I was in highschool I got better grades and I noticed my mind could do more like remembering names and problem solving and recalling more when I pushed myself to really think and concentrate even more then I usually did and didn't let my emotions get to a point where I was emotionally compromised as much by catching the emotion. Being very upset and emotional can cloud judgments and make it harder to think carefully and clearly. It's not possible to be calm 100% in stressful times but pushing for regulation amd not repression can help.
@magvs_mæstro216
10.12.2024Lol wow. Who actually thought that one of the many games improves ones overall intelligence? Like the games are literally categorized pertaining to each of the different tenants of Iq.

@zzsql
10.12.2024What I get out of brain training is this: I find myself jumping to the next mental item so frequently, my brain drops what I was previously working on so that when I'm interacting with others, I seem like I'm forgetting whatever we were just talking about. Brain training games (Luminosity for example) help me train myself not to just skip past what I'm thinking about and forces me to retain subjects for longer durations.
@FunnyAnimalGalaxy-u3n
10.12.2024What is the game of game
@gaara33373
10.12.2024I remember focusing solely on memory training in lumosity and for a while it actually have me a photographic memory. I could remember a whole page i saw a sec ago. Or even remember things long enough to do math in my mind (something i struggle with). So i did notice the difference when it comes to memory… Others? No idea.
