Brain Training



 Brain training suggests you can improve your cognitive function by repetition of a variety of different games and exercises. == How it works: ==  A brain training website will generally begin with testing your brain’s abilities and what needs improving, such as, memory and problem solving that will require different mental and cognitive abilities. === Devices: ===  Brain training is available online, in computerized programs and hand held gaming devices such as ipod, ipad, Nintendo DS, etc. === Reasoning brain training: ===  Reasoning brain training tasks mostly involve problem solving, planning and analysis. The user can’t simply try harder if they wish to improve; they need to develop mental strategies. These tasks develop areas of the brain essential to reasoning and problem solving. === Non reasoning brain training: ===  Non reasoning brain training, designed to continuously challenge mental performance and maximize benefits of training. The tasks usually involve short term memory, maths, interpreting visual information and attention to detail. === Websites: ===  Lumosity, a popular brain training website, lets a person choose what areas they would like to improve upon before setting up a routine of different brain training games best suited to what the user is aiming to improve.

 Cognifit tests the user’s cognitive skills to determine where improvements can be made before moving on to the brain games.
