"The research showed that the commercial brain training games had no meaningful impact. While people do get better at the games, this is most likely due to familiarity."
"Getting better at such a game does not entail that one is smarter or more mentally capable. Traditional video games can improve memory and mental skills."
"Rather than simply focusing on a simple game that is narrowly focused, the gamer is forced to fully engage the general challenge and develop a broader set of capabilities."
Many people seek to gain benefits with minimal effort, such as purchasing exercise equipment or brain training games. However, research indicates that commercial brain training games do not have a meaningful impact on cognitive abilities. Improvement in these games is often due to familiarity rather than actual cognitive enhancement. In contrast, traditional video games can improve memory and mental skills by presenting real-world challenges that require broader engagement and capability development.
