Plateau'ing is normal

Today we looked at A-One's brain training scores over the last week. He seems to be playing about three to four times a week at present.  His scores are still at a plateau; he's now at 42.7th percentile overall.  However his Flexibility has been showing a steady increase, now at 48.2nd percentile.

Mum: I was reading in the Lumosity blog that plateau'ing is a common pattern when learning something new, and that sometimes sharp rises can occur and then be sustained.  That's certainly been your pattern, A-One.  The important thing is that you keep doing it, because your brain is working on it even though it doesn't seem to show in your scores right away.

A-One: Well, I didn't have internet for some days.

Mum: But you do now, so you should play today to catch up.

A-One: Yes, I will.

Perhaps he has been encouraged by his test report.  I haven't managed to get him to try CogniFit yet.
