A-One finally got to his Friday game before he went to bed Saturday morning - when? Don't know. He's had the same pair of pyjama pants on night and day for the last week.
The exciting news is that he's hit 60th percentile for Speed, and is almost cracking 50th percentile for Memory. He was served an information processing game, but no working memory. Nevertheless, he gained another PB for the cafe game for remembering names, faces and orders. I suggested to him that once he's hit 50th percentile for Memory, he might adjust his training priorities so that he gets more intensive work on Attention and Flexibility. He didn't protest, so we'll see once he hits the mark.
Also, through SharpBrains again, I saw a reference to a paper published in Nature, by two professors advocating for games developers and neuroscientists to collaborate to produce digital games that train the brain. Yeh! When you think that children's game play is how they learn and grow, why not digital games too? One of the scientists spoke at a TED talk last November.
