It's kind of fun to do regardless, and if you have the time I'd say it was worth checking out.


Cool! I noticed from your profile that you are a psychology major. Are you focusing in a particular area?

I think it does help. Lumosity games train your brain to help with memory. I read on, http://autismsd.com/lumosity-and-autism/ My autistic Nephew loves it. It;s better than playing xbox all day long and learn violent behavior.

I liked cognitivefun.net.
I used it when I was trying to quantify the effects of ADHD medication and doses.

I used to play Devilish Concentration Training on my 3DS which consists basically of games that i should play 5 mins session per day and have this same purpose of increasing memory/cognitive skills. Each game had it's own difficult system that advanced as i was getting better at them. I played it everyday for months (7~8 months) and was really good at it, but i haven't noticed any difference at any "real life" skills. Maybe it was just me or maybe i got better and didn't notice but at least i didn't seen any kind of noticeable difference.
