Abstract Synopsis
- This study investigates whether training with real-time strategy (RTS) video games can improve cognitive flexibility, a key mental skill involving adapting to new information and switching between tasks.
- The researchers compared two versions of RTS games and used a Bayesian analysis to determine that the version emphasizing maintenance and quick switching between multiple information sources significantly enhanced cognitive flexibility across various tasks.
- The findings suggest that engaging with certain types of video games can strengthen brain networks involved in cognitive flexibility, opening up practical possibilities for using video games to boost cognitive abilities.]
