- Researchers found that seniors who play a 3-D video game improve their ability to sustain focus and multitask successfully. The results highlight the potential of the aging brain to improve certain skills. As we age, changes in our brain can affect our cognitive abilities and memory.

Sep 5, 2013 · These findings highlight the robust plasticity of the prefrontal cognitive control system in the ageing brain, and provide the first evidence, to our knowledge, of how a custom-designed video game can be used to assess cognitive abilities across the lifespan, evaluate underlying neural mechanisms, and serve as a powerful tool for cognitive ...

In a second experiment, we explored if older adults who trained by playing NeuroRacer in multitasking mode would exhibit improvements in their multitasking performance on the game 9, 10 (i.e., diminished NeuroRacer costs). Critically, we also assessed if this training transferred to enhancements in their cognitive control abilities 11 beyond ...
Sep 16, 2013 · Researchers found that seniors who play a 3-D video game improve their ability to sustain focus and multitask successfully. The results highlight the potential of the aging brain to improve certain skills. As we age, changes in our brain can affect our cognitive abilities and memory.
These findings are consistent with other reports of training-driven modulations in prefrontal cortical activity of older adults9,17. Furthermore, the coherence results demonstrate for the first time modulation of a neural network in response to cognitive training in older adults.
Results suggest that playing an easily accessible video game in older age can enhance cognitive functioning, especially in areas directly tied to the video gaming activities.
Jan 1, 2019 · In the present study, we employed an experimental paradigm designed to examine the impact of a video game − a commercially available game purported to enhance cognitive skills − on the cognitive functioning of older adults without major health conditions.
