COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING GENERAL INTELLIGENCE

摘要

Computer-implemented methods and systems for improving general intelligence, processing speed and salience in a human subject are disclosed. The computer-implemented methods relate to training including exercises designed to train at least one of an auditory, visual, somatosensory and sensorimotor modality in order to process input in a more rapid and more salient manner. The treatment may be flexibly implemented and the exercises include parameters whose difficulty may vary based on the most recent assessment of the individual. By gradually increasing the difficulty of the exercises, general intelligence, input salience and processing speed may be improved across one or more modalities. The exercises are typically directed to improve performance across a substantially large portion of a modality.
