Is this really any different than working a contest? Perhaps we can say "RadioSport prevents Dementia?" :-)


"Imagine that you are looking at a computer screen. For the briefest instant, two images appear—one in the middle, one on the periphery. Then the computer prompts you to identify them. Was the central image a tiny car or a little truck? Where along the edge did the second image appear? The more accurate you get, the more fleetingly the pictures appear, the more similar the car and truck get, and the more distracting the background becomes. That is speed-of-processing training. It is always one step ahead of you, yet virtually everyone gets faster and more accurate with practice."
