Brain Workout | One, Two, Three
To be effective a brain workout must establish three essential conditions: Focus, Challenge, and Reward.| Focus | Intense focus causes the brain to produce a neurocompound that fixes the memories and skills being trained. Better focus, better memory. |
| Challenge | If we're challenged by the task of focus our brain's will dedicate more processing power to the activity. |
| Reward | Improving at the task triggers a sense of well-being causing the brain to produce another neurocompound (dopamine) that encourages the growth of new brain cells that will help us perform better on the task. |
Brain Fitness Pro trains working memory -- a set of brain processes employed for all conscious activity. The practical advantages of MindSparke's brain workout are essentially boundless. MindSparke trainees tend to experience the greatest improvements in skill areas where they most want improvement.
