Researching the efficacy of Lumosity
What we did
Lumos Labs conducted a randomized study of Lumosity brain training and published the results in a peer-reviewed research journal. In it, half of the 4,715 participants who completed the study trained five days per week, for 15 minutes each day on Lumosity while the other half did online crossword puzzles as an active control.
What we found
After 10 weeks, Lumosity users improved more than the control group on our assessments of working memory, short-term memory, processing speed, problem solving, fluid reasoning, and overall cognitive function. These results are promising, but more research is needed to determine the connection between improved assessment scores and everyday tasks in participants' lives.
Next questions
Future research should address the risk of inadvertent experimenter bias and the risk of attrition bias in this study, as both the Lumosity and crossword groups had approximately 50% attrition rate. As with all scientific research, there is also a risk of publication bias.
Challenge your memory, attention, and other skills. Over 70 million people worldwide use the Lumosity app, which consists of more than 25 cognitive games for daily brain-training challenges.
