Gang tae the test
Whit the research can tell us
Gie ilk caird a familiar image or pit it alang an imagined road. Keep the road the same an practise a wee bit o the deck first. The cairds are drawn here, wi nae deck pictures downloaded.
Dresler an colleagues (2017) fund that sax weeks o method-of-loci trainin improved recall o studied wird lists. That study didnae test this trainer or establish a rise in IQ or general memory.
A review bi Simons an colleagues (2016) fund far stronger evidence for improvement on trained tasks than for broad transfer. Thae tools are practice activities, no diagnostic tests or medical advice.
A few useful answers
Is ilka pairt free?
Aye. Ilka level, the image list, history an backups are free, wi nae sign-up or ads.
Will this improve ma IQ or general memory?
We dinnae mak that claim. Better performance here mainly tells ye aboot this practised skill, wi thae settings.
Hou are cairds scored?
A caird counts only whan baith its rank an suit match the caird shown in the same place. Skipped places count as misses.
