Your brain can be made to work better. You can stop forgetting the information you need or take, for example, a travel card from your bedside table when you leave home. You can complete various tasks faster. To do this, you need to train your brain. But you don't have to torture yourself, because you can develop your mental abilities just by playing games. Jokes aside, you can actually get smarter with some of the apps we introduce you to in this article.
I recently read the book Get Smarter. This book made me believe for a while that our brains can be developed. That is, you have a very real opportunity to become smarter, solve riddles faster, complete tasks, and so on. The book describes various ways to achieve this goal. You can read about three of them in the article by Yulia Bayandina.
I want to tell you today about the most pleasant way that was described in the book. These are games. Yes, seriously, you need to play games to get smarter. But not everything. It is unlikely that playing Farm will make you smarter. But there are games that can positively affect your brain.
Lumosity (review for and)
This application was described in the book. Or rather, not an application, but the entire service. You need to follow the picture on the screen and take appropriate actions. For example, if there are green leaves on the screen, you need to choose where the leaf stem points, and if yellow, then choose the direction of movement of the leaves. It's not as easy as it sounds. And the longer you play, the faster you can complete this task. Ultimately, this will have a positive effect on the performance of your daily tasks.
Kakuro
Are you familiar with Sudoku? What about Japanese crosswords? Now pair them and you have the Kakuro game. You have a field with numbers in some cells. You need to fill in empty cells with numbers from 1 to 9 so that the sum of the numbers on the vertical corresponds to the number indicated above. Likewise horizontally. It's hard to explain - it's easier to try. Yes, the application is in English, but there are simply no good Russian analogues.
Math tricks
Mathematics is the gymnastics of the mind. This is what Suvorov said. And Lomonosov believed that she puts the mind in order. All this tells us that mathematics needs to be done. We've written you about various math tricks that help you solve complex examples quickly in your head. These and other tricks are presented in the Math Tricks app. First, you are presented with the opportunity to solve the example yourself (square 103), and then they show you how to do this in a quick way.
Duolingo ()
If you need to learn a foreign language, why not do it while playing? The Duolingo app will help you with this. You can learn English words and English grammar with absolutely no extra workload. By the way, it also trains your brain.
In addition to using the apps mentioned above, don't forget to read our Smart Games articles. You can also find games in them to help your brain work even better.
