Brain Games for Your Site

You can embed mini-versions of Lumosity tests with our new Brain Game Gadgets. An example is below. If you want to have Path Finder on your blog or website, click “Embed” from the widget and follow the instructions.



Path Finder is based on the classic test of executive function, Trail Making, Part B. You can also try a larger version of Path Finder in the Warm Ups section of Lumosity. The average time to complete this version is 34 seconds (the typical time to complete the smaller version above is shorter).

    10.5, 3rd try. this is trailmaking part B. can you break out the results by switching time vs. visual search time? visual search should decrease linearly with the pressed items; you could use a mixture model assuming a linear decrease in RT for visual search and a gaussian cost for switching.

    btw, were you guys at CNS this year? from the poster abstracts it looks like there were an incredible number of training people there..

    Hey Chris,
    We haven’t really dug into this data yet, but search time does decrease rapidly with fewer items. I suspect it’s non-linear with such a small number of stimuli because you start to notice the layout of the upcoming items. Perhaps the best approach is to compare times against Part A (no switching, just numbers or letters).

    We didn’t make it to CNS this year, but sounds like it would’ve been worthwhile. SFN submission deadline is next week…are you going?
