To tell the truth I know many cases even In my area that even if
you're 50 you can improve like a young. The thing is you can't campore
yourself to other people, because they are in diffirent level and some
of them just born as a smart. You must remember that your goal is to
be better than yourself before and not to be better from everyone and
be the smartest person in the world.
What about 50. So in my area was a woman, who was 50. She started to
feel very old and useles, because she started to have problems with
memory and focusing on conversation. Then she got a idea about playing
piano. Fortunatelly she could afford both piano and piano teacher. She
had much luck because the teacher knew how to motivate her and change
her way of thinking. After 10 years playing she improve much more than
children playing for that period. Now she performs from time to time
and when I first saw her I feel kind of jealous, because some people
in audience burst out crying. That was really impresive.
What about n-back. I notice one interesting thing. Most game teach you
how to be focused on particular period without being distracted. If
you play much you can completely be focused on lesson in schools or
during tests. The problem is that if you improve your ability of focus
you still could have problems with problems solving and learning new
things. So I thing that n-back game improves not only ability of being
focus but also its quality. With good quality of focus you can deal
with some intellectual problem much more quickly, because you brain
works faster. That's the prove! Yesterday I learnt for the test. I
take materials and I was going to learn everything in 2 hours. After
I'd learnt I go to bed thinking that It is 1:00 A.M, but fact is that
was 23:00 P.M. I found out that I had learnt only 30 minutes. That was
the power of the focus quality.
To sum up, you're still young and on that age you can still improve.
As in the 50 years old woman case you the best way to improve is just
change the way of thinking.
