The Individualized Training System (ITS)The “brain” behind the program is the Individualized Training System (ITS). This is an interactive system that "learns" about the users through their performance and offers an individualized training schedule and responds to user performance both during and at the end of the training. As the training progresses, The ITS adjusts the level of difficulty of each task depending on the user’s specific performance. Each practice session lasts for about 20 minutes and is made up of three tasks. It is recommended to train 3 times a week. The complete training program includes 24 practice sessions which are then repeated two additional times in their entirety. At the conclusion of this almost nine-month training period the user is then provided with a task pool for lifelong brain training and fitness. In addition, MindFit provides the user with information about the cognitive skills being exercised in each task and their relevance to every day functioning. Try the Mindfit free demo |
