| Brain Fitness Activity of the Month | |
Do A Jigsaw Puzzle The task: Do a jigsaw puzzle that will be challenging for you-no fewer than 500 pieces. The reason: Mundane as they may seem, jigsaw puzzles can provide real help for your brain. Completing one requires fine visual judgments about where pieces belong. It entails mentally "rotating" the pieces, manipulating them in your hands, and shifting your attention from the small piece to the "big picture." To top it off, it's rewarding to find the right pieces. |
