Ambler Is One of the Brainiest Cities in U.S., Study Says

Business Insider recently reported that Ambler is the 38th brainiest city in the Unites States, according to a cognitive training Website called Luminosity.

Luminosity, created by Lumos Labs, used the cognitive training tasks of attention, flexibility, speed, problem solving, and memory to rank each city’s residents’ average brain performance.

The top city was Stanford, California, out of the 50 cities ranked.

Dr. Daniel A. Sternberg conducted the study, which measured the brain performances of more than three million people from the age of 15 to the age of 85 years.

It can be noted that, like last year, university towns were on top of this year’s rankings.  Princeton was ranked in second place, just after Stanford. 

The methodology of the study can be found here.
