Can Cogmed working memory training improve your intelligence? Research indicates it may help.
Working memory training makes you smarter?
Have you ever thought (or been told) that intelligence is something you have or you don’t? You’re either born smart or you aren’t?
Well, research indicates intelligence, specifically fluid intelligence, can be improved through training. Fluid intelligence is the ability to adapt to new situations and solve novel problems rather than just accumulating knowledge.
In 2008, psychologist Susanne Jaeggi conducted a ground-breaking research study; contrary to the long-held belief that one’s intelligence was fixed, Jaeggi’s research showed evidence that working memory training actually improved participants’ fluid intelligence.
Why this is a game changer
This is revolutionary research as fluid intelligence is considered one of the most important factors in learning. It is also closely related to educational and professional success, particularly in challenging learning and working environments.
With Jaeggi’s research implying that a person could increase their IQ by one full point per hour of training, it’s more important than ever for us all to understand working memory and how it impacts our performance at work and our children’s success in the classroom.
Cogmed Working Memory Training trains fluid intelligence
Cogmed is a Working Memory Training Program that assists with improvements in staying focused, ignoring distractions, remembering instructions, in complex reasoning and problem solving, as well as academic achievement.
The fun computer-based cognitive exercises are designed by neuroscientists to challenge your brain, with the exercises getting harder as your working memory and attention improve.
