A little tangential but an important fact nonetheless: there is zero evidence that doing 'puzzles' improves cognition.
In fact, there is a mountain of evidence (and growing every day) which shows that you can improve your brain health by getting up from your chair and doing any sort of physical activity.
Even getting up and lifting one leg leaving your to balance your weight on the other does more for your brain than sitting down and doing a mental puzzle or cross-word, etc.
Just a thought :)
- comboy 12y agoI highly recommend reading "Brain that changes itself" by Norman Doidge. I have no idea how good lumosity games really are, but you can improve your cognition doing such "puzzles" if they are designed well. http://www.amazon.com/The-Brain-That-Changes-Itself/dp/0143113100 http://www.amazon.com/The-Brain-That-Changes-Itself/dp/01431...
