Intellectual game does not improve intelligence

Many people are passionate about computer games, thinking that it can both bring excitement and enhance intelligence.

However, a study by scientists from the Medical Research Council and the Alzheimer's Association (UK) found that computer brain games have no difference in nature compared to Super Mario games. Intelligence does not really bring intelligence.

To demonstrate, the scientists conducted experiments for 11,300 volunteers selected from the audience in BBC News's "Big Bang Theory" program. Then proceed to divide into two groups, the experimental group and the comparison group.

The experimental group consists of 8,600 subjects, aged between 18 and 60. Scientists continue to group this group into two other small groups, and in turn require each object to play online intelligence games 3 times a week each time playing at least 10 minutes.

This game is designed by scientists themselves. In particular, the first small group mainly played games to train the ability to guess, calculate and solve problems. The second small group trains the ability to memorize for a short time, attention, mathematical ability and visual space.

The comparison group includes 2,700 subjects. This group does not play intellectual games but must answer cognitive questions with the same online time as the experimental group.

The experiment was carried out continuously for six weeks, after the experiment ended, all the subjects were involved in a smart indicator test.

The results showed that, although the subjects in the experimental group had better performance on cognitive ability and ability to play online, however, testing the intelligent index showed that the expression of the experimental group did not exceed superior to the comparison group

In addition, in some tests, even the results showed that the comparison group scores far exceeded the experimental group.

However, whether or not an online intellectual game will bring intelligence will always become a hot topic of debate.

Meanwhile, some scientists hold a conservative view of the function of intellectual games. Professor Philip Adi of the University of London's Department of Psychology and Psychology said that the game is really intellectual and brings intelligence to learn foreign languages ​​and participate in sports activities. .
