Yeah! You’re not dreaming. I got this news from Dailymail today report that the scientist just found new fact which is video games can give a boost to an elderly person’s brainpower.That really amazing right?
According to Professor Arthur Kramer who is psychological professor at the University of Illinois our mental function that decline most with age can be improve when playing interactive games. He do the testing to 40 people at the age of 60s to 70s. Most of them were asked to play Rise of Nations games. In this game player need to build cities, maintain an army and not to forget expand their territory.
What he observe the older who play this game became significantly better at ‘executive control’ functions such as the ability to switch between tasks, short-term visual memory, reasoning skills and working memory.
Professor Kramer said: ‘This is the first such study of older adults and it is the first to find such pronounced effects on cognitive skills not directly related to the skills learned in the video game’
So what do you think guys. Don’t you think this is a good news for older?
