Skills Training Modules Planned
Welcome Visitor…
This site is behind schedule, less entertaining projects have consumed our time.
The main intent of this site is to provide brain enhancing, Flash based interactive exercises. Thee exercises should ultimately help one make complex decisions more quickly, without breaking a visible sweat.
Originally planned to be focused on the pure mathematics of playing 21, it now looks like Texas Holdem skills enhancement exercises may have a larger audience.
As one doesn’t not learn to speed read by just doing a lot of reading, but by expanding specific skills by isolated, focused exercises, like those provided by the infomercial Eye-Q package. Likewise some card playing skills may be best improved by specific, focused exercises.
The intended focus is on enhancing brain functions using in the process poker hand analysis. As examined in the Public Television Brain Fitness programs detailing the brain’s plasticity, the ability to reorganize it’s structure to meet new demands. Narrowly focused mental exercises can enhance very specific brain functions, an expensive ($400-$500) software package is marketed in association with the PBS program. A more realistically priced set of brain exercises are available at one of the better commercial brain enhancement sites, Lumosity for a cost of about $6/mo., these are not brain teaser puzzles like Sudoku, but rather simple categorized exercises designed to focus on: Response Inhibition, Verbal Fluency, Information Processing, Spatial Orientation, Spatial Recall, Focus, Working Memory, Logical Reasoning, Task Switching, Face-Name Recall, Visual Field, Quantitative Reasoning and Arithmetic.
