Video games could cut dementia risk in seniors: study
The randomized clinical trial involving more than 2,800 people study was funded by the US National Institutes of Health, and used a specific brain-training exercise called "Double Decision," a patented program by Posit Science that is available on BrainHQ.com. The exercises tested a person´s ability to look at an object in the center of the screen, like a truck, and click on an object that popped up in the periphery, like a car. As the user improves, the exercises move faster and become more difficult. The idea is to exercise the brain´s ability to change -- known as plasticity -- and to test skills of perception, decision-making, thinking and remembering. study authors say the process is like learning to ride a bike, a skill that doesn´t take long to learn but which drives a long-lasting brain change. Participants were an average age of 74 when they enrolled in the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly study. Dozens of peer-reviewed scientific studies have been published using ACTIVE data, which has now completed 10 years of follow up. Participants in the trial were assigned at random to four groups: one did computer exercises, a second one followed a series of traditional memory exercises, another did reasoning exercises, and the fourth, a control group, did nothing at all. Those enrolled in the computer-game part of the study did at least 10 hours of training in the first five weeks of the program. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Video games could cut dementia risk in seniors: study || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
