So it was interesting research done by Arthur Kramer of the University of Illinois, which already continuous stream of information about how our brain can be improved foothills.
This study shows that 60 to 70 people may have cognitive brain or improving a strategic game.
From Science Digest article about the study,
“The desire for world domination, might be a good thing if you’re over 60 and afraid of losing your mental faculties. A new study has found that adults in May, in their 60s and 70s a number of cognitive functions, improve strategic video games nation-building and territorial expansion rewarded.
According to the article, “this study is the first of its kind for seniors, and is the first to find not so great influence on cognitive abilities directly with the skills learned in the video game,” said University of Illinois psychology professor Arthur Kramer, author of the study. “
“Decades of conducting laboratory studies to improve specific cognitive abilities such as short-term memory have been found repeatedly that the students said, almost exclusively to improve their work in the laboratory – and only in laboratory conditions, Kramer .
This is for those of us with the brains of 60 who are important to our continued interest in profitability, especially if you are a parent, like me, 10 years old and 4 years are the brain. I want to generalize my training with the rest of my life. If I lift weights, the force that results is very useful, mowing lawns and parenting realms. It makes me fight with my children, for example, and their friends. I can feel the power when I am with this chore, my younger woman accused overwhelmed. I’ll bring my brain to my physical training and consulting practice in the same way. I would like to know what Dr. I would like to know what s lumbar Dr. Kramer notice fluid intelligence by the dual task of education is, in relation to the intelligence of the executive.
“When you train someone on a task, they tend to improve in this task, whatever it is, but usually not much on the skills or the specific situation, to transfer learned them,” he said . And there are virtually no studies examining whether there is a transfer outside the laboratory, to attract things, people. “
That was my concern with some commercial programs for consumers. Other programs have shown results in the formation of other activities and some have said, there is little or no disclosure in activities that are not explicitly mentioned in the game Kramer said. I know very well, the researchers discarded games and tried, and why.
“Kramer and her colleagues wanted to know if it could be a more integrated approach to environmental education for the training of cognitive skills used in daily life to improve. Specifically, the researchers whether video games Interactive functions could benefit from the cognitive decline in most of the time. “
“Seniors tend to be less about things that are called executive control processes fare,” said Kramer. “This includes things such as planning, scheduling, working memory, multitasking, and dealing with ambiguity.”
The age and not add? Does my wife think? It is] already skeptical.
The evidence in this study suggest that improvement.
“Would the medical terminology, this dose-response,” said Kramer. “The more drugs – or in this case, training on video games – to benefit more.”
The results are significant, Basak said, because they can show that multi-dimensional training affect many individual components of cognitive function.
“The fact that we train people in a molecule and found to transfer atoms to me is very impressive,” she said.
“This mode, in which the elderly can stay mentally fit, own cognitively,” says Kramer. “I do not pretend that this is the only thing to do.”
Other activities conducted by particular social, sports and good food are also important for maintaining cognitive function in healthy in later years, he said.
Thank you Dr. Kramer, principal investigator and your Basak Chandramallika.
