I was right that I am able to stay focused and maintain my train of thought. Here were my final results, when compared to other people in my age group of 65 to 69:
They were a bit more challenging than I expected. I completed three tests that were designed to assess my speed, attention and memory. This was followed by more questions regarding how much I exercise, how much sleep I get, etc. They began by asking my gender, level of education and occupation. (When I received my score, however, I realized that I may not think as quickly as I thought I did!) Under flexibility I checked all the choices.Īfter choosing the areas that I thought needed the most development, I was asked to set up an account and give them my email address so I could start my free Fit Test.
I only made a couple of choices in the thinking speed category. Other people may want to choose that item. I am generally able to stay pretty focused (and my later test score showed that I was correct). For example, under "Attention," I did not check avoiding distractions. However, I skipped a few that I did not think were particular problems for me. I checked most of the boxes for each category. In each category, I was given four choices. Recalling sequences of objects and movements.Īfter I hit "next," I discovered that I was also given choices regarding the areas I wanted to concentrate on in other aspects of my memory. Keeping track of multiple pieces of information in my head I began by going to When I clicked on "Start Training Now," I was asked which aspects of my memory I wanted to challenge. Are you interested in trying to use brain building exercises to improve your mental acuity and, perhaps, postpone the symptoms of dementia? Scientists have developed a program called Lumosity that you can use for just that purpose.īecause so many Baby Boomers have begun to subscribe to Lumosity, I thought it would be worth exploring.
