Introduction
Core cognitive capacities, such as working memory, attention, speed of processing and fluid reasoning, were once thought to be innate, fixed intellectual traits. Today, these abilities are now understood to be plastic and improvable under certain enriched environments and may provide the critical scaffolding necessary to attain progressive scholastic achievement. For these reasons, it is important for researchers, educators, and administrators to better understand the potential impact that cognitive training may have on a learner’s academic performance and ability to acquire new knowledge. I am going to introduce you to the benefits of Lumosity, a site that is able to strech the core cognitive capacities, and the uses of it in the classroom.
