The game helps older people remember better

Older people should be encouraged to play games because of the increased ability to concentrate and improve the memory of video games.

The game that researchers offer for adults aged 50 and older is driving on a rough road and sometimes there are signs that appear suddenly on both sides of the road. Thus, players will have to concentrate on maximum to perform two jobs at the same time, drive on rough roads and pay attention to signaling systems on both sides of the road.

Participants can play this game 12 times per month and each session lasts 60 minutes. The results after a month, researchers from the University of California of the United States, found that the ability of many participants to do many things at the same time than those of the same age, sometimes even more than young people age 20 does not play the same game as above. In particular, the ability of the elderly to concentrate on doing many things at the same time lasts 6 months.

'I am proud that I can now do many things at the same time and work with many people. In the past, I often forgot to do something, when there was another thing, 'said Ann Linsley (65).

The researchers also found that the ability to concentrate, quick response and the speed of information processing of older people for playing video games was also significantly improved.

Joaquin Anguera, a neuroscience specialist at the University of California, said: 'Through research, we find that video games not only help slow down the decline of brain functions, but also increase Add cognitive speed in the elderly '.

With the results of this study, scientists recommend that elderly people should sometimes play video games while interacting with their children and grandchildren while improving their memory. This is also a way to help prevent the Alzheimer's disease.
