Afterwards, the more the participants trained, the more problems they could solve in the post-test, a significant and surprising 40% improvement. The surprise In education, transfer effects are central to the system. The assumption is that what we learn in school we will apply later sometime in our life in the future. This brain study had also demonstrated that networks of neurons would suck up large amounts of blood. This happens every time a certain brain exercise was performed. Results demonstrated several exercises that activated the brain's frontal lobe in a most powerful way. Brain power factors An individual s brain power is, in itself, dependent on several factors. When training the brain, it is important to do different cognitive exercises. It is not enough to focus on one form only like a card game. There are different kinds of brain exercises which can be used like puzzles, optical exercises and illusions, math, reasoning and language exercises. Brain training is also not only mental exercises. Board games like crosswords and scrabble have been regarded for efficiently stimulating the brain. In England a unique finding has been made about Bingo. Elders who are fond of the game have shown a significant improvement in hand-eye coordination. Their regular engagements also led to reduced memory loss. Open up new pathways so as to increase awareness and interest thereby stimulating brain activity. Although technology is around to make your life easier, take some time off from your calculator and do your math mentally. Run the figures in your head to make sure that your brain is far from rusting. Memorize contacts and addresses which may come in handy when your phone s dead. Even after five years, older adults who had about 10 sessions of supervised brain training had shown long-lasting improvements in memory, reasoning and speed of processing. Research finds Another striking feature in the research on brain training is the discovery of evidence of the participants transfer of skills to everyday functions.
