brain training memory problem solving game learning attention education

  • Instead of teaching specific skills that may only be useful in specific areas, Lumosity targets core cognitive processes that underlie performance in many different areas. These processes include memory, attention and other abilities that are critical in the real world.

    Lumosity is an online brain training website that uses games to strengthen such cognitive skills as memory, problem solving, attention, flexibility, speed, and more!  It costs to have a subscription, but the few games that are free (including a speed math problem game!) are enormously fun and you can use them to improve and track your progress in those skill areas.

  • o detrimental is this practice that some researchers are proposing that a new prerequisite for academic and even professional success—the new marshmallow test of self-discipline—is the ability to resist a blinking inbox or a buzzing phone.

  • One large survey found that 80 percent of college students admit to texting during class; 15 percent say they send 11 or more texts in a single class period.
  • f you’re paying attention to your phone, you’re not paying attention to what’s going on in class.”
  • Now that these devices have been admitted into classrooms and study spaces, it has proven difficult to police the line between their approved and illicit uses by students.
  • ut listening to a lecture while texting, or doing homework and being on Facebook—each of these tasks is very demanding, and each of them uses the same area of the brain, the prefrontal cortex.”

    Hitters only have 125 milliseconds to gauge the average Major League fastball - less than the blink of an eye. Which begs the question: how is it humanly possible?
