摘要

Methods of promoting fluid intelligence abilities in a subject are described herein. In particular, exemplary exercises are directed at the serial sensory motor insertion of letters of selected alphabetic arrays, which are words that may or may not contain embedded relational open proto-bigrams (ROPB), into a predefined incomplete alphabetic set array. Correctly sensory motor inserted letters and embedded ROPBs are highlighted for the sensorial perceptual discrimination of the subject in the selected alphabetic set array and the selected alphabetic arrays by displaying the same with at least one changed spatial and/or time perceptual related attribute.

1. A method of promoting fluid intelligence abilities in a subject comprising:
a) selecting an alphabetic set array, having a serial order of letters, from a predefined library of alphabetic set arrays and selecting an alphabetic array from a predefined library of alphabetic arrays having non-repeated letters, where each alphabetic array has a semantic meaning and follows the same serial order of letters as the selected alphabetic set array; b) removing all of the letters of the selected alphabetic array from the selected alphabetic set array to form an incomplete alphabetic set array, and providing the incomplete alphabetic set array with the selected alphabetic array to the subject; c) prompting the subject, during a first predefined time period, to sensorially perceptually search and discriminate if the letters of the selected alphabetic array, when serially inserted into the incomplete alphabetic set array, form the selected alphabetic set array; d) at the end of the first predefined time period, prompting the subject, during a second predefined time period, to serially insert each letter of the discriminated alphabetic array, one at a time and following the serial order of the selected alphabetic set array, into the incomplete alphabetic set array, wherein the subject is required to perform a sensory motor activity for each letter insertion; e) if the sensory motor insertion made by the subject is an incorrect letter insertion, then automatically returning to step d); f) if the sensory motor insertion made by the subject is a correct letter insertion, then immediately changing at least one spatial and/or time perceptual related attribute of the correctly inserted letter according to a predefined program; g) repeating steps c) and d) for each letter of the selected alphabetic array until the selected alphabetic set array is formed; h) during a third predefined time period, at the end of step g) when the selected alphabetic set array is formed, immediately changing at least one spatial and/or time perceptual related attribute of the letters forming any preselected relational open proto-bigram (ROPB) contained in the selected alphabetic set array and the selected alphabetic array; and i) repeating the above steps for a predetermined number of iterations.
