I suggest Advanced Memory Training and Memory Boost! If you haven’t already Nick you should enroll in some of the more advanced memory courses at Lumosity.com.

I use the games here (almost) daily and they help. However memory is still my weakest area - both in the games and real life. Are there additional actions apart from the games that you could recommend? Thanks Like Yvonne I have epilepsy and my memory is affected – both working and long term.

I have them too, and in 2002 a seizure resulted in a TBI for me. I was in a coma for weeks, but survived without a memory. Took a few years to get to walk, talk, read, write, function, but, I never got my pre-2002 memory. I have been told various memories of other in my world, but even they disagree. I enjoy Lumosity, but I fear its addiction. I live in the middle of no-where, so it's easy to not see people on a daily basis. I worry about my social skills; actually have been told I do not know what is appropriate and what is not. Oh well, at least I am alive. enjoy the sunshine, if this rain ever stops eddie hi Yvonne,

For example, in some areas history shows very fluid and sustained acquisition of new skills. In some, there is a precise dip and then a huge gain. And finally in some areas I seem to have difficulty learning from errors and continue to make they same kinds of mistakes for a very long time before any substantial gains. Are these factors more likely related to various individual strengths (Gardner-Multiple Intelligences) or is it ever perhaps pointing to specific learning issues which may have been undiagnosed? Based on reading some of the comments, I am wondering now also about the dual-coding process in reading. Are there games designed to help one acquire improved processing of multiple stimuli? Should one always play with the sound on? Actually I never really thought about that being a factor before now!

But he was not able to stimulate specific brain areas. I am interested in brain stimulation of the inferior parietal lobe, where einstein use this area to think. Can you make a tool for the stimulation of the inferior parietal lobe? dual n back is very fast brain stimulator. 19 days 40 IQ points.
