I'm desperately trying to think of any human activity that would substantially improve after ten minutes of practice, three times a week, for six weeks. My general inclination is to agree with their hypothesis, but testing it like this is just embarrassing.
- robg 16y agoTry doing sit-ups or push-ups that much and that often. I'm pretty sure you'll improve over six weeks. That said, more works needs to be done.
- YooLi 16y agoAgreed, but you would only improve at sit-ups or push-ups, and there is a point where you will plateau. Doing push-ups 3 times a week for 10 min. won't make you good at pull-ups, which it seems is what people are expecting with these brain 'training' games. If you want to improve your mind, you do have to work it, but the work needs to be varied and consistent: work on your memory, read, learn to play a musical instrument, learn new physical skills, do math problems, etc. You have to do it all and keep doing it (unless you want to specialize, in which case you do one thing over and over as has already been said in the comments).
- robg 16y agoCouldn't agree more. But then that's the problem with the concept of fluid intelligence.
