2 hours a week? I guess I'm set for a few hundred years with of mental work.
Although if I had to guess this would probably be more related to elderly people doing mental work that stimulates new connections. If a young person today who had been playing games their whole life were to try it when they were old it probably wouldn't have the same effect because they would be so used to those mental stimulation.
Just a thought from a person who knows nothing about this field.
- scipol 12y agoThe improvement effect might be smaller but perhaps persisting in game playing would keep those pathways from atrophying. Plus, I imagine by the time the first video game cohort (today's late 30s?) are in their 70s that the way we interact with and play computer games may not be anywhere near the same physical experience. If by 2050 I don't have a holodeck I'm going to be pissed.
