Games, games & bills

Over the weekend A-One completed his daily brain training with Lumosity.  His BPI continues to steadily increase, with improvements in speed, memory, attention, and flexibility, but his problem solving remains determinedly around the 2nd percentile. By Sunday, his speed was almost at the 40th percentile, although he may be plateauing for memory.

 

He was telling me about his progress with his latest game purchase, Halo 4.  Playing it on the X-Box because his laptop is still out of action, he was explaining that there are four levels: Basic, Standard, Heroic, and Legendary.  He decided to start at Legendary and is already up a couple of levels! (Although he says it takes longer to complete a game.) Not content with restricting himself to the X-Box, he is also using another computer to play the online game Runescape.

As an aside, he was asking about how some online payments work, and noticed his board payment in  the transaction statement for his bank account.  We took this opportunity to talk about some living costs, using a household bill as an example. I don't have much confidence that any of it registered, however we'll keep trying to share cost of living realities with him, hopefully to provide increased motivation for brain training.
