Brain Training Exercises & Program Goals

Exercises that Target Different Brain Functions

Posit Science programs are made up of multiple exercises that target different domains of cognitive functioning. The exercises are designed to work together for the goal of overall brain fitness, with results that generalize to improvement in your everyday activities. To learn more about the specific training goals of each individual exercise, refer to the chart below.

The Benefits of Using More Than One Program

Each Posit Science program is effective independently, but they are designed to complement one another. Our programs focus attention on a specific domain of the brain—the auditory cortex for the Brain Fitness Program and the visual cortex for InSight—while still giving the brain a widespread workout. We believe that doing both will amplify positive effects and help users feel as sharp as possible. Note that DriveSharp is a subset of InSight, so InSight users have no need to use DriveSharp.

Screen Shot Exercise Name Goal High or Low? Encourages faster sound processing to help the brain respond to even the quickest speech Tell Us Apart Gives the brain practice distinguishing similar sounds to help it interpret speech and store clear memories of it Match It! Aims to improve the clarity of memory by sharpening the precision with which the brain processes sound Sound Replay Pushes the brain to remember information in order, which affects the ability to engage in and remember conversation Listen and Do Works out working memory, the short-term memory that is critical in almost all cognitive tasks related to thinking Story Teller Promotes stronger memory for details to strengthen communication abilities

InSight
The InSight brain fitness software includes five exercises:

Screen Shot Exercise Name Goal Bird Safari Sharpens your visual precision and expands your useful field of view so you capture more visual information, more accurately Jewel Diver Exercises divided attention so you can track multiple moving objects at the same time Sweep Seeker Speeds up visual processing so you can spot and react to things more quickly Road Tour Expands your useful field of view and speeds up processing for safer navigation and faster reaction Master Gardener Works out your working memory so you can recall visual details

DriveSharp
DriveSharp contains two of the InSight exercises:

Screen Shot Exercise Name Goal Jewel Diver Exercises divided attention so you can track multiple moving objects, like cars at a busy intersection, at the same time Road Tour Expands your useful field of view and speeds up processing for safer navigation and faster reaction Sweep Seeker Speeds up visual processing so you can spot and react to things more quickly
