Mind-Boggling Results From Brain-Training Games Study
Leading Brain-Training Games Developer MIND360 Discloses Results From Cognitive-Skills User Groups
NEW YORK, NY and HERZLIA, ISRAEL--(Marketwire - October 28, 2009) - According to recent
studies carried out by leading brain-training games developer MIND360,
people's cognitive scores do indeed deteriorate with age. The research
results were compiled following careful observations of players engaged in
the company's science based online brain
games within an uncontrolled environment.
Twenty-year-olds, according to the study, achieved the highest scores.
However, when gauging the performances of "consistent trainers," this
particular group's overall scores indicated no cognitive decline with age.
The greatest training results came from playing MIND360's executive
function brain fitness games, and while the memory games revealed
significant improvements, their impact was less, signifying that players
require more intense memory training.
Overall Player Improvements
In the areas of executive function, logic and reasoning, and visual
perception, all players showed cognitive improvements by an average of more
than 25% after five training sessions. The greatest improvements among this
general group were achieved after training their visual perception
skills -- approximately 33% after five sessions. This was followed by
sustained attention, which resulted in a rise of about 28% in these
players' ability to focus after five sessions. Among those training their
face and name recognition skills, optimum performances were achieved after
10 sessions, indicating a 50% improvement rate.
Results According to Education
High school graduates scored highest in MIND360's visual perception memory training games, while university
graduates recorded the highest scores when training their logic and
reasoning capabilities.
Overall, there were no significant gender-based differences in the players'
cognitive scores.
