There’s been lots of talk about whether games like “Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain?” or “Big Brain Academy” are actually beneficial to your brain’s health.

Scientists over at the University of Michigan suggest that Brain-training efforts designed to improve working memory can also boost scores in general problem-solving ability and improve fluid intelligence.

Although the performance of untrained controls improved slightly, the trained subjects showed a significant performance improvement, which increased with time spent training.

While this document doesn’t explicitly endorse any products, it’s good to know that all that brain training time has not been spent in vain.
