Brain Power Puzzles — Rapid Thinking Drills

What goes into noticing a change, recognising a pattern and deciding how to respond within a few seconds? Brain Power Puzzles — Rapid Thinking Drills by Son of Lord introduces the mental processes behind quick thinking through accessible brain science lessons and themed word search puzzles for adults.

Explore how processing speed, attention and working memory figure into everyday tasks. Other topics include pattern recognition, decision-making, reasoning, problem-solving and cognitive flexibility. Each chapter introduces the relevant vocabulary in plain language and gives you a way to revisit it in an accompanying puzzle.

The book follows a four-step format. Read the science, explore the vocabulary, find the terms in the word search and return to the definitions to review their meanings. Work through a full chapter when you want to settle in with a subject or pick up a puzzle during a short break. The format makes it easy to return to an idea that caught your attention.

Choose this volume if you enjoy word searches and want to understand what happens between taking in new information and deciding what to do with it. Start with the topic that interests you most and discover the science behind a quick response.
