…the brain has the the ability to change any time through life. The brain can change by increasing the efficiency with which it communicates with itself.
Think of a grocery list: milk, eggs, bread, peanut butter and cheese. Now, imagine pouring the milk into a round glass.
As that glass sits in your hand, it begins to morph into an egg. When you crack the egg, two pieces of bread appear as if they’ve hopped out of a toaster. But when you touch the bread, it melts and covers your hands in sticky peanut butter. And then you grab a cloth to wipe it off, but you actually grab a block of cheese.
That’s an incredibly rough version of the kind of memory device taught by the brain trainers at LearningRx, a national franchise that provides cognitive skill assessments and lessons. This specific technique has to do with visualization, which can help someone remember a list by linking all of the items together through images.
But what exactly is brain training?
