Now, there's been a lot of skepticism around brain-training games like Lumosity, particularly after a recent study of the existing research found that these games may improve your skills in individual tasks, but not your overall intelligence or mental capabilities.
Our findings caution against a narrow or strict interpretation of self-reported limitations in individual tasks.
A direct consequence of this situation is the underinvestment in individual tasks of the programme, including their staffing.
We aimed to quantify how nurses distribute their time across tasks, with patients, in individual tasks, and engagement with other health care providers; and how work patterns changed over a two year period.
We aimed to quantify how different classifications of nurses on hospital wards distribute their time across tasks, their time in individual tasks, and the extent to which they engage with other health care providers.
Parietal activity found for single visual and auditory trials (Figure 2) might reflect stimulus-response mapping in the individual task [32] [34], which, however, did not interfere in our unspeeded experiment.
The right-hand bars represent the accuracy of identification in the individual task (blue, condition 2) and the Dual-task conditions (red, condition 3).
The left-hand bars represent the accuracy of event detection in the individual task (blue, condition 1) and the Dual-task (red, condition 3).
