Under what conditions does brain training work?
Please consider joining us at SharpBrains’ upcoming virtual conference (November 17–19th), featuring this fantastic session:
Wednesday November 18th, 12.30 — 1.45 pm. Under what conditions does brain training work?
Despite ongoing controversies, the evidence is clear: Some brain training interventions work, and some don’t. What explains the difference? What conditions maximize the probability of transfer into real-life benefits? Understanding these conditions, as outlined in The SharpBrains Guide to Brain Fitness, is crucial to separate wheat from chaff.
