Other ways to train your brain

Learn something new

A new language, musical instrument, or unfamiliar task gives you a reason to work carefully with new information.

If a task is familiar, try a different approach or change the order of your steps.

Choose tasks that need focus

Pick activities that require you to pay attention and check your own work.

Move around

Alternate your sessions with a walk or another familiar physical activity.

Frequently asked questions

Start with short tasks for memory, attention, reaction, and thinking. Difficulty adapts as you progress. Compare your results with previous attempts at the same exercises.

What your result shows

A better result in a particular exercise shows that you have become better at that specific task. A single test cannot assess a person's memory, attention, or thinking as a whole.
