Synopsis

A dynamic program for improving memory and sharpening focus

This interactive guide features:

• More than 100 creative and engaging exercises of increasing difficulty to stimulate cognitive skills
• Targeted exercises for improving the five key cognitive areas: memory, attention, language skills, visual and spatial recognition, and reasoning ability
• A scoring system for assessing current status, along with prescriptive tips for improving each cognitive area
