After 10 years of providing brain training games, we had to make the hard decision to retire the Fit Brains' products. As a result, you will no longer be able to access the Fit Brains content effective 07/06/18; customer support will be discontinued on 08/06/18.

As of August 19, 2020, Games and Chat have been removed from Rosetta Stone as these features are based on Adobe Flash technology, which we no longer support.

In a 2022 meta-analysis of studies on brain training, which included data on seven programs including BrainGymmer, BrainHQ, CogMed and Lumosity, participants reported some positive effects, but most such benefits disappeared if objective measures, such as cognitive tests, were considered instead.

While brain-training apps may provide a boost, there's no substantial evidence that they can prevent or slow cognitive decline. They also don't seem to help people with cognitive decline that has progressed to dementia.

For the six months ended 30 June 2020, Rosetta Stone Inc revenues increased 6% to $96.4M. Net loss increased from $3.4M to $9.8M.

Its return would not reunite it with missing parts, as has been argued in the case of the Parthenon sculptures. Nor was it ever a treasure belonging to a wealthy court, like the Benin Bronzes. For most of its existence it had no owners at all.

“Many of the brain training companies essentially have no evidence in support of their particular programs having those sorts of real-world benefits,” says Daniel Simons, an experimental psychologist at University of Illinois; Simons led a team of experts that conducted one of the most extensive reviews of scientific ...

“The scientific consensus on brain games is that people generally show improvement on aspects of the game, but that improvement does not seem to extend broadly to other important aspects of cognitive function,” explains Duke Han, PhD, a neuropsychologist at Keck Medicine of USC and a professor of family medicine at the ...

Researchers have tried to answer these questions by testing how these individual nutrients affect cognitive health. So far the limited studies have found no evidence they help, with a few rare exceptions. Still, this doesn't mean that the brain supplements may not work.

Do they really work? A. Brain training programs promise to preserve cognitive abilities, but so far research has not found they can delay or prevent brain decline. These programs operate on the premise that practicing one cognitive task will translate into better memory and intelligence.

After a month of using Rosetta Stone semi-consistently, I was actually quite impressed with the results. I can put together basic phrases about clothing, animals, and everyday activities, and I'm even getting the hang of conjugating verbs. All that, and I'm not even finished with the first unit of learning!

While Rosetta Stone will help you build a solid foundation, it won't make you fluent. When you feel like you've maxed out on learning with Rosetta Stone, you might need to push yourself into situations where you're actively using the language instead of reacting to an app.

The contention over the original stone copy stems from its unrivaled significance to Egyptology. Carved in the 2nd century B.C., the slab contains three translations of a decree relating to a settlement between the then-ruling Ptolemies and a sect of Egyptian priests.

Egyptians call for the return of the Rosetta Stone and other ancient artifacts People calling for the repatriation of the ancient tablet and other items say the continued display of the objects in European institutions ignores a history of colonialist looting and exploitation.

In short, brain games can: Improve motor skills, such as drawing and writing. Improve concentration level. Develop a faster thinking skill. Stimulate hand-eye coordination.

While a number of studies exist that show promise between brain games and preventing dementia in older adults, one meta-analysis found that brain games had “no superior effect” on critical cognitive domains like memory, executive function, visuospatial skills, and language.
