We are working toward multiple languages. It will be a few months before we have a French language version, I would imagine. However, once you understand the training, the program does not require much knowledge of English. You may want to just give it a try. We can always refund if you decide to wait for the translation. Best wishes, Martin Walker www.mindsparke.com Hello, Fanny.

That said, I am quite sure you gained from the training...how much is hard to know. My suggestion -- keep going! Like you, I'm doing training unscientifically. However there are some brain functioning metrics of interest. One is the speeded N-back exercise at mybraintrainer.com where you can compare one's score with others. I got pretty good at it by practice and was in the top 10 monthly but experienced leveling off...about a week ago I went back to the exercise after playing BF pro for 80 trials and hit into their 3-back advanced level "All Time" top 10 list -- one list I never thought I'd be able to crack. This is due mainly to playing the dual n back, in particular Martin's version. Again, nothing scientific, but notable increase of wm that seemed to derive not from mybraintrainer but from Bfpro practice...(what I like especially about mybraintrainer is being able to compare performance to other members broken down by age, occupation, etc. The N-back over there, btw, is a visual exercise that seems to combine WM and processing speed/reaction time and so isn't a pure WM exercise). As for taking the WAIS, it would be good for you to sit for it at some point -- 4th edition if you can...I'm sure you would do great on it. I plan to take it as well, but a expensive for me at this time. On the topic of working memory and fluid intelligence, here is an interesting short film on grandmaster Susan Polgar, who subjected herself to neuroimaging. She remembers chess positions from her past by using a part of the brain that most of us use to recognize faces.
