Would love to see more memory games that emphasize real world situations as well as more attention games.

I really really need a game to help imagination, improvisation and association. That would be so cool

My natural language is spanish, however I´ve been noticed that my spanish verbal fluency has improved and so my hearing since I´m audio engineer recording, I do better jobs.

Thanks.

I agree with many posters, that lumosity should release a percentile chart/score distribution chart somewhere so that if someone wants to know his percentile he can find out. Also I am curious about composite BPI what is the distribution for the overall BPI, because if a 1400 is 99%ile on any given game an overall BPI of 1400 must be rarer because it takes into account your composite performance for all the activities you engage in. What percentile is a 1481 Overall BPI? Is the distribution of overall BPI scores reflect a positively skewed normal distribution function with a median of 1000 and a standard deviation of approximately 150?(much like an Standard IQ test with a median of 100 and an SD of 15)

I think you are doing a great job but what about a table of records..? As a motive for achievement, competition comes in a miserable second to love.:-) The most of people just love it!!!!!

Hi
love these games, however, what would keep me doing it again and again would be knowing how I fared with an average. I love competition. Is there some place in the site that lets you know how you compare?

Someone ask about the little brain on the right side of the screen. That brain is also a game, click once and try repeat, after that you have to remember 2 later 3 and each time more, try to do that by using only a hearing.

I am at Level 10 of the birdwatching game. The birds are now coming too fast to even see them. This was my favorite game until I rached this level. Is it possible to slow down Level 10 just a little bit?

I love Lumosity. I am 55 years old and see a clear improvement since I started “playing” daily. I look forward to additional games! Also, as is the case with some others, I preferred the old graphics b/c they were sharper and easier to discern.

What would be nice are games that feature auditory training, as some others have already mentioned. This type of training, obviously, would round out the cognitive benefits.

In addition, I’d like to see more clear ways to compare one’s performance to others. I know there is a way to get a rough idea.

Still, I think it’s worthwhile to **show the percentile score**, like we’d see with an IQ test or the SAT.

Finally, the look of some of the games has actually been abased by the changes. The memory match game actually got worse! Raindrops’ look was degraded as well. I haven’t seen a positive improvement yet!

I have a hard time imagining the reception has been positive, as they’re pretty clearly less attractive…

Please consider reverting to your previous look.

Some verbal games aimed at improving reading comprehension would be excellent. I also agree that some audio games would be a fine addition, as well as games designed to improve your creativity.
