Brain Games That Boost Memory and Concentration: Study Findings

In recent discussions on the benefits of gaming, it has become clear that the strategic components of games play a significant role in enhancing cognitive functions in young individuals. According to study co-author Fiona McNab, Ph.D., “It seems to be the strategy elements of the games—planning and problem solving, for example—that stimulate better memory and attention in young people. We don’t observe this same effect in older adults, though, and further research is essential to uncover the reasons behind this.”
