Conclusion: Overweight further leads to obesity, which is leading cause of various hazardous sufferings. The mean age, height weight and BMI (body mass index) of Brain Gym (Group B) was 26.53☒.63 year, 168.20☗.73 cm, 75.93☘.71kg and 26.95☑.22 kg/m2 respectively (Table1). Results: The mean age, height weight and BMI (body mass index) of Brain Age (Group A) and was 25.36☒.96 year, 168.37☖.80 cm, 75.20☖.17 kg and 26.38☑.18 kg/m2 respectively. Measures of executive functions (Set shifting, Hand Eye coordination, working memory and visuospatial ability) taken before and after the training protocol by neuropsychological test Trail Making (TMT A and TMT B).
Participants in both the groups go through an intervention for 15 minutes per day, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks. 60 subjects were recruited based on their BMI (24.9Kg m-2-29.9Kg m-2) and equally been divided into two groups (Brain Age & Brain Gym). Materials and Methods: We have conducted an experimental study using a popular brain training game (Brain Age) and a cross body movement therapy (Brain Gym). The purpose of this study was to study efficacy of brain training videogames and brain gym exercises on executive functions in overweight individuals. More studies, preferably longitudinal, are needed to replicate the findings of this study and to establish the directionality between factors. Although results suggest that strategy video gaming may be a factor that contributes to increased decision making abilities, a reversed relationship is also possible, whereby individuals who are better at decision making are also more likely to become successful in Dota-2. The findings from this study give insight into the cognitive demands related to performance in Dota 2. The cognitive reflection task, included in the models as an indicator of the ability to engage in conscious, analytical, rational, and logical thinking, was a significant predictor of performance in IGT, and was significantly and positively related to MMR. Results showed that Medal was a significant predictor of performance in IGT, while MMR score was borderline significant. Two indicators of players’ performance in Dota 2, namely match-making rating (MMR) and Medal, were used as predictors of performance in the IGT in path models. The objective of this study was to investigate if there is a relationship between skill level in the strategy video game Dota 2, a game that places many demands on decision making to be successful, and decision making under ambiguity and experience as measured by performance in the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT), a task known to have ecological validity. Our findings suggest that puzzle games involving logical contradiction could improve response inhibition, showing potential as a tool for inhibition training.Įsports is an often time-consuming activity that has become increasingly popular with billions of players all over the world. We also found that there was an increase in left TMT while playing RTS, suggesting the presence of increased impulsivity in RTS. There were no significant changes in the distractor inhibition tasks.
Results showed that only the puzzle game group showed an improved response inhibition while controlling for WM. Participants completed three inhibition tasks, working memory (WM), and had their tympanic membrane temperature (TMT) taken from each ear before and after playing the games.
A total of 67 non-habitual video game players (M age = 21.63 years old, SD = 2.12) played one of three games: puzzle (n = 19), TBS (n = 24) or RTS (n = 24) for 4 weeks on their smartphones. We predicted that compared to RTS, puzzle and TBS games would (1) improve response and distractor inhibition, and (2) increase cerebral hemispheric activation demonstrating increased inhibitory control. We examined the effect of strategy games (puzzle, turn-based strategy 'TBS', and real-time strategy 'RTS') on inhibition (response inhibition and distractor inhibition) and cerebral hemispheric activation over 4 weeks. Further, the transfer of learning from games to inhibitory control has yet to be examined from the perspectives of time constraint and logic contradiction. Past studies have shown evidence of transfer of learning in action video games, less so in other types, e.g.
