Cognitive psychologist Dr. Amy Lawson Moore shares lessons she and her colleagues have learned about brain training from their clinical research and experience working with more than 101,000 brains. In this talk, Dr. Moore illustrates how brain training should match the complexity of cognition, the importance of achieving real-life benefits, and the universal applicability of brain training for all ages. Weaving her peer-reviewed research results with stories of hope, she shares how cognitive training is so much more than ‘brain games’! Watch her TEDx Talk here:
