Gaming help older people improve memory
When old people play games, they can enhance memory, increase longevity, reduce depression. That is the findings of the University of California (USA), is published in Nature on.
Enhance memory "This discovery will help to prepare treatments for people suffering from an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, dementia and autism" - Adam Gazzaley - Professor of Neurology, physiology practitioners and psychiatrists.
Scientists have designed a game called in order to build a test and control groups. Among them were people in their 20s and 65-80 years of age participated in the trial. A group of people in their 20s and 65-80 attended a screening test and control groups by playing a game called NeuroRacer by scientists design. Group adults were playing racing and implement the requirements made on the computer for 12 hours per month. If during that time increased their scores, the researchers will also increase the difficulty of the game for the next month. After four months of testing, the elderly have in-game scores higher than the 20 years old player first. After a few months, attention and memory in the elderly group were improved.
One study also showed positive effects of video games for the elderly. In another study from North Carolina State University (USA), scientists found links between happiness and gaming. Elderly people sometimes play video games often feel "happy" and less likely to be changed mood when they get older. So gaming positive influence for the elderly. Depression addition to enhancing memory, the scientists also pointed out the utility of depression from the game. The brain exercises for 4 weeks with computer effectively equivalent depressed people treated with the drug for 12 weeks. Enhancing gaming on the PC acts as a panacea for the brain, even better, in the treatment of depression in the elderly - According to the article's scientific journal Nature Communications. The survey was conducted on a group of retired depression aged 60-89 years old.
Games on the computer have been used and effective in only 4 weeks. The program was developed to test the hypothesis: Is the brain of the elderly can be recovered through high-intensity exercise or not. From then gradually reduce depression, improve learning, memory, and ability to make decisions and take action. Other studies have previously shown that the decline in some of the functions of the nervous system and leads to the poor response to antidepressants. Moreover, these treatments conventional antidepressant leave pain and depression for the elderly. Remaining effective drug treatment often unstable, and the disease only about the one-third reduction in the number of people treated.
