Cognitive performance was measured by an independent test known as NexAde™. The CogniFit group showed greater benefits in the categories of Focus, Memory, Learning and Mental Flexibility.

What kind of brain training is most effective?
While any training is better than no training at all, research has proven that the key to an effective brain fitness program is its ability to maintain a sufficient level of challenge over a range of different activities. For instance, when you do crossword puzzles, after a while you become very good at it, and as you learn the meanings of more words, the puzzles become easier for you to solve. But crossword puzzles can’t constantly adjust to make themselves more challenging as you become more adept, so the benefits of doing them will gradually decline.
