Spend a few minutes listening to public radio, surfing the Internet, or reading magazines, and you will be bombarded with advertisements touting the power of brain training to improve your life. Lumosity converts basic cognitive tasks into games and has noted in an introductory video that “every game targets an ability important to you, like memory, attention, problem-solving, and more” (“Learn How Lumosity Works” video previously hosted at www.lumosity.com: “Cutting Edge Science Personalized for You,” 2015). Posit Science teamed up with the AARP (formerly the American Association of Retired Persons) to offer a version of its BrainHQ software as part of a “Staying Sharp” membership (http://www.aarp.org/ws/miv/staying-sharp/). Cogmed markets its working-memory training program to schools and therapists, claiming that it “will help you academically, socially, and professionally” by “allowing you to focus and resist distractions better” (“How Is Cogmed Different,” 2015). And CogniFit has promised to “add useful cognitive training programs for your daily life” (“Improve Your Brain While Having Fun,” 2015).
