Re: Training reading comprehension via complex working memory: Any CWM games out there?

I hear a qualifying score is around the 60th percentile, your 90th percentile score is the of course very good. But of course to defend the honor of n-back you will get a 100:ed percentile score. ;)

Yeah, I think you may have obtained that excerpt from here =

Looks like have some work to do! I think it's plausible to move from
47 percentile to anywhere above the 70 percentile with some hard work.
I do have 12 months to work towards it after all!!
Some things I could do to improve here are -
- verbal WM exercises, which I guess will continue to be variable-
arithmatic n-back, and hopefully in the near future, Chien CWM
training.
- Critical thinking, which I guess could involve practicing informal/
formal logic.
- Not only read a lot but attempt to attempt to analyze what I'm
reading at any opportunity.

In regards to section 2 - Understanding people - I still haven't
devised a strategy as to how I may perhaps improve here.
Some obvious things that can be practiced are the following, as to how
effective they may be though I'm not sure (better than nothing (?)).
- Practice analyzing not only others feelings but my own
- Meditation --> Specifically, compassion meditative practice (I've
read some interesting articles that have connected training on such
with increases in brain related areas)

Section 3? Well, I guess I didn't score in the 100 percentile (scored
90 percentile), so I guess I have some improvement here too, however,
it's nice to realize that I don't have to focus my attention as much
here.

:-)

"Hmm... I guess I did say a month ago that I'd do it in a month or so,
didn't I. "

No pressure! Just appreciative of the fact that your even considering
it, which is great!
