Many cognitive neuroscientists are asked this question a lot. Do brain games increase cognitive skills? Do these games help us being different from other? And the answer is a yes and a no! Games are engaging and addicting, we are hooked for hours with some and are bored playing with some that are not of our taste. Brain games are a bit different they trigger your cognitive skills and can manipulate stuffs according to the requirement.
What we know about increasing our skills is the word “training”. For brain training at targeting at a specific cognitive function one should specify games. For example, games such as crossword puzzles trigger your virtual imagination of what is coming next or what should be placed here to complete it up. The brain frontal lobe part does decision making judgment and planning, thus playing such games targets the specific area involved.
With this said I would like to state that according to a study, keeping yourself apart from technology just for 30 mins can be better for brain health. Our over use of Smartphone, laptops and tablets can deeply hurt our brain capabilities.
Our brain’s frontal lobe is our key to act remarkable in our future. Cognitive reserves and our future connection deeply is associated with our frontal lobe which connects other areas of brain. Our brain can do multitasking, can have different perspective, can think innovative in other words is just phenomenal.
So, I must say that instead of relying on specific “Brain Games” find the inner you. It is appreciable that people taking keen interest in enhancing their brain capabilities because this approach is tend to reshape world. I am not negating meaningful brain development apps but is trying to aware you about what is proven.
