  • Attending to multiple streams of information and entertainment while studying, doing homework, or even sitting in class has become common behavior among young people—so common that many of them rarely write a paper or complete a problem set any other way.
  • 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.

  • 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.
  • Kim Ammons on 10 May 13
     
    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.
