This is a pretty common exercise for “fast thinking” check-up. You need to notice the numbers within the letters and recognize them correctly. Try running the exercise faster, up to 100msec per symbol. This exercise will definitely help you speedread and potentially may help suppressing vocalization.
I´m just not getting it at all, do not understand the taks here, started with default, but to try to understand it, i put it to 2000ms and one letter, and I still didn´t get it (embarresed here)
This is a task of VISUAL symbol recognition. If you are trying to subvocalize the letters you will fail.
In your experience does increasing the numbers (mantaining the same %) make the exercise more difficult or simpler? Thanks.
Dr.Lev, if I can ask, what’s your rating in this exercise?
No rating, speed training. This is the exercise that tests how dexterity helps memory and vise-verse.
This exercise should allow you to choose how many symbols it shows at one time instead of just one. It would help more with subvocalisation that way.
This is an interesting idea. Thank you for the feedback.
books?! Great, anything you can share with us yet? Funnily, I purchased the become a superlearner book earlier today to read on a trip away next week.
In proofreading….
When are you putting these exercises in an app? I’d love to access the via my iphone on the go – great work mate. Keep it up
Thank you 🙂
There is only so much I can do. Currently I am focused on books.
I don’t think the code works right anymore. I have it set at 10 symbols with 4 numbers at 300msec and it sometimes only shows 1 of the 4 numbers. I thought i just was not fast enough so I recorded it using the slow-mo feature on the iphone. Sure enough only 1 number popped up and only 7 total symbols came up ( missing the other 3 numbers)
When creating the code I made some bugs. The simple fix I use: 10 symbols for every number.
i am doing this exercise at 2 numbers, 100 symbols and 50msec. It is ok or should i level up a bit?
Your choice. If you feel it is easy, do level up.
Thank you Dr.Lev! what number do you think a superlearner should aim?
I think that if you can recognize 2 symbols in a stream of 100 symbols with 50msec delay between symbols, this is definitely good enough. However, you can always increase the difficulty level….
In this exercise, all the numbers seem to be come in the ascending order. It might become more interesting if the numbers came in a jumbled-up order.
The issue here is not comprehension/working memory but speed. You need to flash the images blazing fast, and then a notch faster….
