I have been using the Mind Sparke version of this research for a couple of months as part of my
test of four brain exercises software, and I find it quite worthwhile.
The practice has helped me
focus much better than ever before, for longer times.
I have an ADD kind of brain, which can get
scattered easily, and this practice has been a godsend for focus.
Even at 60 a brain can improve.
From Alex Madrigal, in April of 2008, Wired magazine.
"Brain researchers for the first time claim to have found a method for improving the general
problem-solving ability scientists call fluid intelligence, otherwise known as "smarts.
"
Fluid intelligence was previously thought to be genetically hard-wired, but the finding suggests
that with about 25 minutes of rigorous mental training a day, healthy adults could improve their
mental capacities.
The method, if commercialized, could be a boon to the growing, multimillion-dollar market for
"brain fitness" software like Nintendo s Brain Age.
(However, please remember that Brain Age is
a game, and Mind Sparke is a training).
"The most important point of our work is that we can show that it is possible to improve fluid
intelligence," said Martin Buschkuehl, a psychology researcher based at the University of Bern,
Switzerland.
"It was assumed that fluid intelligence was immutable.
"
Fluid intelligence measures how people adapt to new situations and solve problems they ve never
seen before.
Fluid intelligence differs from crystallized intelligence, which takes into account skills
and knowledge that have been acquired -- like vocabulary, grammar and math.
It s not hard, for example, for students to improve their IQ scores by taking lots of IQ tests.
Trouble is, learning how to take IQ tests doesn t improve the underlying smarts.
The students just
get better at taking tests.
In practical terms, people can get better at taking tests, but in daily life,
don’t have a blazingly quick new brain.
And that s where Buschkuehl s research, which appears today in the journal Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences, claims to be groundbreaking.
In a limited trial, he and his team were able to make 34 test subjects significantly better at
