Monterey Peninsula College Brain Games Do They Really Work Discussion

 

Help me study for my Psychology class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

First read the following article from Scientific American Mind magazine:

Brain Games: Do they Really Work?

In your original discussion post, answer the following questions. Arrange your answers thoughtfully and logically, rather than making a simple list of answers.

What was your initial reaction to the Scientific American Mind article? Did you previously believe that brain training results in increased cognitive functioning? Why? What did you think after reading the article? Were your thoughts confirmed or did the article challenge your previous knowledge?
Have you used brain training (past or present)? After everything you’ve learned, do you think that brain training is worthwhile? Why or why not?

To help develop your post, use the PsycARTICLES online database from the MPC library to find an empirical research study on this topic. This is required to earn full credit. https://web-a-ebscohost-com.libproxy.mpc.edu/ehost…
