Brain Games: Let’s Make Them Worth Our While - There is overwhelming evidence that staying intellectually active in later life has protective effects on brain health and mental acuity. A host of cognitive/brain training programs, often referred to as brain games, have been developed to help older adults boost their memory, attention, and focus. Such programs include computer games and phone apps, and are currently estimated to generate between $2 and $8 billion in revenue. But are they worth the expense and effort? Do they produce meaningful improvements?
