大脑训练游戏有用吗？大脑训练游戏的有益效果有望转移到其他认知功能。然而，老实说，商业大脑训练游戏对年轻人的有益转移效果几乎没有科学依据。在这里，我们调查了大脑训练游戏（大脑年龄）对年轻人广泛认知功能的影响。我们进行了一项双盲（事实上掩蔽）随机对照试验，使用流行的大脑训练游戏（大脑年龄）和流行的益智游戏（俄罗斯方块）。通过当地报纸上的广告招募了32名志愿者，并随机分配到两个游戏组（大脑年龄，俄罗斯方块）。大脑年龄组和俄罗斯方块组的参与者每天玩游戏约15分钟，每周至少5天，持续4周。在训练前后进行认知功能的测量。认知功能的测量分为八类（流体智力、执行功能、工作记忆、短期记忆、注意力、处理速度、视觉能力和阅读能力）。我们的研究结果表明，商业大脑训练游戏可以改善年轻人的执行功能，工作记忆和处理速度。此外，与玩大脑训练游戏相比，流行的益智游戏可以提高注意力和视觉空间能力。本研究显示了科学证据，大脑训练游戏对健康年轻人的认知功能（执行功能，工作记忆和处理速度）有有益的影响。我们的研究结果并不表明每个人都应该玩大脑训练游戏。但是，商业化的大脑训练游戏可能是改善某些认知功能的简单而方便的手段。我们相信，我们的研究结果与教育和临床领域的应用高度相关。UMIN临床试验登记研究000005618。
Do brain training games work? The beneficial effects of brain training games are expected to transfer to other cognitive functions. Yet in all honesty, beneficial transfer effects of the commercial brain training games in young adults have little scientific basis. Here we investigated the impact of the brain training game (Brain Age) on a wide range of cognitive functions in young adults. We conducted a double-blind (de facto masking) randomized controlled trial using a popular brain training game (Brain Age) and a popular puzzle game (Tetris). Thirty-two volunteers were recruited through an advertisement in the local newspaper and randomly assigned to either of two game groups (Brain Age, Tetris). Participants in both the Brain Age and the Tetris groups played their game for about 15 minutes per day, at least 5 days per week, for 4 weeks. Measures of the cognitive functions were conducted before and after training. Measures of the cognitive functions fell into eight categories (fluid intelligence, executive function, working memory, short-term memory, attention, processing speed, visual ability, and reading ability). Our results showed that commercial brain training game improves executive functions, working memory, and processing speed in young adults. Moreover, the popular puzzle game can engender improvement attention and visuo-spatial ability compared to playing the brain training game. The present study showed the scientific evidence which the brain training game had the beneficial effects on cognitive functions (executive functions, working memory and processing speed) in the healthy young adults. Our results do not indicate that everyone should play brain training games. However, the commercial brain training game might be a simple and convenient means to improve some cognitive functions. We believe that our findings are highly relevant to applications in educational and clinical fields. UMIN Clinical Trial Registry 000005618.
