417 More Games, Puzzles & Trivia Challenges Specially Designed to Keep Your Brain Young

399 Games, Puzzles & Trivia Challenges Specially Designed to Keep Your Brain Young became a word-of-mouth sensation and strong impulse seller, with 110,000 copies in print. Based on the science that shows that people middle-aged or older who solve word games and brainteasers have a significant cognitive advantage over those who do not, 399 Games cross-trained the brain--while being first and foremost loads of fun. Master game-and-puzzle maker Nancy Linde now offers 417 more of her delightful brain exercising challenges. Readers who enjoyed the first book will find new iterations of those games and puzzles, as well as more than a dozen new formats, and many new "one-off" games, making this new book feel fresh and familiar at the same time. Once again, games are coded by which of the six key cognitive functions they target (Executive Functioning, Working Memory, Processing Speed, Attention to Detail, Long-Term Memory, and Multitasking). And in this book, more games stimulate multiple cognitive functions simultaneously for a more effective brain workout; As Philip D. Harvey says, "multiple demands deliver maxium gains." In addition, more games in this book offer the option of a time limit--so puzzlers can test their skills against the clock. And all games have been vetted by neuroscientist Dr. Philip Harvey.
