Long-term Effects of Logic Game Training on Memory

Abstract

This longitudinal study examines the sustained effects of logic game training on various memory functions over a 24-month period. Our findings reveal significant long-term improvements in working memory, episodic memory, and memory consolidation processes.

Introduction

While short-term cognitive benefits of puzzle-solving are well-documented, less is known about the long-term effects. This research addresses this gap by tracking memory improvements over an extended period, providing insights into the durability of cognitive training effects.

Methodology

We followed 250 participants for 24 months, with regular memory assessments at 6-month intervals. Participants engaged in logic game training for at least 20 minutes daily. Memory tests included working memory tasks, episodic memory recall, and spatial memory assessments.

Key Findings

• Working Memory: Sustained 30% improvement maintained over 24 months
• Episodic Memory: 25% enhancement in long-term memory recall
• Memory Consolidation: Improved ability to transfer information from short-term to long-term memory
• Age-Related Decline: Slower memory decline in older participants compared to control group

Conclusion

The study demonstrates that consistent logic game training produces lasting improvements in memory function. These benefits persist over extended periods, suggesting that regular puzzle-solving can be an effective long-term strategy for memory maintenance and enhancement.
