It's a scientific fact: You exercise your brain in the same way you work out your body. Well, you can get a double dose of mental exercise with this two-books-in-one collection from the hugely popular Brain Games series. (The collection is a compilation of Brain Games #3 and Brain Games #4.) But beyond being good for you the mental challenges and puzzles in Brain Games Collection #2 are a lot of fun.
By working different cognitive functions, the activities in this collection will make you feel the burn (mentally, of course). Just as no single exercise machine can give your body a complete workout, no one type of puzzle will fully strengthen your brain. The following cognitive functions will be enhanced:
Analysis
Attention
Computation
Creative thinking
General knowledge
Language
Logic
Planning
Problem solving
Spatial planning
Spatial reasoning
Spatial visualization
Visual search
Yes, it's cross-training at its best. The puzzle types include:
Anagrams
Crosswords
Cryptograms
Drawing exercises
Language puzzles
Logic puzzles
Math puzzles
Mazes
Memory puzzles
Observation and perspective puzzles
Sequencing games
Visual logic puzzles
Word searches
The mental challenges and puzzles in Brain Games Collection #3 become progressively more difficult, and self-assessment quizzes help you measure the strides you've made. And since this collection is spiral-bound and is easy to handle, you can take it just about anywhere.
