Lumosity: Day 2

Eventually these posts will be less frequent, as there will be less to report. At first, I'm going to try to keep up with the daily games and record those. Eventually I'll move on to documenting how much better I'm getting at the Lumosity games, and whether that seems to be having any effect on my brain powers in other areas.

Today's Training Games:
Word Bubbles Rising (Flexibility)
Color Match (Flexibility)
Lost in Migration (Attention)
Speed Match (Speed)
Spatial Speed Match (Speed)

That was my 5-game regimen for today. Apparently Lumosity thinks I need work on my mental flexibility and speed.

Color Match was really difficult. On one side was a color word; for instance, "Yellow." "Yellow" might be written in any color. On the right was another color word, again written in a color that may or may not correspond to the word written on the card. The task was to decide if the word on the left matched the color of the lettering on the right. Not an easy thing to do.

Word Bubbles was a repeat from yesterday, where I was given a prefix and had to make words from that. It claims to increase verbal fluency, which I'm skeptical about. Just as yesterday, I came up with tons of words, and some of them were really long and complex and precise. Also as was the case yesterday, I missed the opportunity for simple words, this time "over" and "much" specifically. I also entered the word multifluous and was informed by Lumosity that that is not a word. A quick Google search reveals that the word is often hyphenated (multi-fluous) or with its original Latin spelling (multifluus).

Either way, you are wrong, Lumosity! It means copiously flowing, and I want my 50 points.
