Carebuzz Brain Fitness Training

Did you know that normal age related cognitive decline effects the speed but not the quality of our thinking? Memory, reasoning and reaction time usually show the greatest decline; and verbal expression and social knowledge show little or no decline as we age.

Today was my first day of training. CogniFit first assessed my brain fitness that you can read here on Brain Fitness Assessment Part 1 and Brain Fitness Assessment Part 2.

After the assessment, you start the training - and today was on Match the Time, Name the Picture and Simon Says.. the three tests that I completed today are on Time Estimation, Naming, and Divided Attention. As you know the assessment showed high results in Time Estimation and Naming but Divided Attention.. well, let’s just say I was WAY below normal..

The good news… my training results showed that the Divided Attention was elevated.. resulting in very good results after the training. Nice.

What i like about CogniFit - it’s online and provides a variety of activities which keep my brain challenged. The differences between CogniFit and doing activities like crossword puzzles - the latter becomes routine and the brain is no longer getting the stimulation that is required and benefits can gradually decline. Therefore an effective brain fitness program will constantly monitor your performance and adapt to optimize the challenge.
