Lumosity

Hey all,

What is the group's opinion on Lumosity.com? I stumbled on their website and I do not see any red flags. Everything looks legit, positive, and based on research. I am not sure of the validity of the research. Does anyone have any opinions about this site?

I got a little chuckle when I saw their ad on the google ads for this forum.

No one responded and I have the same question. It's almost a year later. Does anyone here think the Lumosity site has any value for what it's touted to be?

Among the ADHD Coaches who use it I hear it has great value. Even one month should produce results.
As with all exercise continuous use will raise the level of long term benefits.

As one who believes in gaming as a tool of cognitive development, and has seen its (tremendous) effect on hard-core gamers who have better information processing and response time than normal people, with confidence I say Lumosity is not a fraud experiment-even if the pseudo effect exists, it's part of the experience.

It's what I believe in, and personally, I deem and feel that myself improved after regulated sessions.

I used it for about a year & found it quite effective. However, you can get similar programs for free through the Samsung & Apple apps stores

[Maureen]

What are the names of the samsung and apple apps?

As part of a separate chat on Lumosity, the ADHD Coaches Assoc. is creating a 3-6 month test on its value and effectiveness. I'll share the results in 6 months.

I personally use Cambridge Brain Sciences. It's free, and hits all the necessary exercises.

Also Dual-N Back is one of the best exercises out there, and versions are readily available for computer, phone, and tablets.
