Ready to game?
We’ve been trying every promising trick to improve my kid’s working memory, auditory processing, language development and other brain skills. Motor coordination, pre-frontal cortex and visual acuity, spatial reasoning, decision-making–all of these have been bandied about as delays that may need attention.
Then I read this:
“In neurological terms, action games seem to ‘retune connectivity across and within different brain areas’…That means gamers ‘learn to learn.'”
–“Brain-Changing Games” by Lydia Denworth, Scientific American MIND
It seems first-person shooting games improve attention, spatial reasoning, visual acuity and decision-making. They can also be addictive and lead to an increase in aggression.
As if the kid didn’t have enough screen time already, I’m actually considering introducing him to more video games. I just wish I could find a first-person action game that wasn’t about killing people.

My daughter loves Skylanders and Pirates 101, both “action” games that are relatively light on the violence and arguably help to “improve attention, spatial reasoning, visual acuity and decision-making”. There’s also Minecraft, which is becoming almost as popular from an educational angle as it is with kids who love playing it.

La Sinonimia, i Sinonimi, i Contrari italiani e stranieri
La parola sinonimo deriva dal Greco Antico (“synonymia” significava
nome in comune). Nell’ambito della semantica, il sinonimo indica due lessemi con la medesima accezione. Il sinonimo è l’opposto di contrapposto (soprannominato altresì
“antonimia”).
Due sinonimi possono essere identificati ricorrendo al criterio della interscambiabilità, ma quest’ultima non può giammai essere assoluta.
In realtà la corrispondenza fra il significato, il suo correlativo vero significante e la referenza paralinguistica rimangono unici verso ogni definizione.
Come sinonimia si può accettare altresì quella originale figura retorica attraverso la quale si esprime il medesimo parere impiegando parole con senso somigliante, ossia utilizzando sia sinonimi, esattamente, o anche la così detta allegoria.
In quest’ultima evenienza non si ottiene, ciononostante,
una coincidenza perfetta di senso, però una equivalenza;
la correzione stessa, accorgersi e ascoltare, custodire e assistere, rende più
esplicito l’impiego declamatorio della tecnica sinonimica.
Molte importanti figure retoriche, come la iperbole, la circonlocuzione, l’enfasi delle ripetizioni, fanno di frequente appello alla sinonimia, in dettaglio nella climax
anticlimax, dove rudimenti della replica sono reiteratamente sinonimi.

Have you thought I would like to value my
car? Don’t know where is good in Leeds?
There are plenty of options, so it can be daunting unless you are shown who you can trust.
I’ve been considering whether to sell my volkswagen for a while now.
And I’ve found it to find great car buyers in the local area –
well, until I came across a respected network of dealers.
See trusted car buyers are really hard to find on the internet nowadays – unless of course, you
know where has been approved.
