Audio Games, Memory, Aging

Dr. Elizabeth Zelinski, Professor of Gerontology and Psychology at the Leonard Davis School of Gerontology at the University of Southern California recently presented a report at The Gerontological Society of America into the effects of memory in aging players of an audio game.

The Posit Science Brain Fitness Program was played by elderly users and compared to a control group who watched educational videos. It was found that concentrating on the auditory stimulation in the game enhanced the player's memory.
