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."
