This is cool, but I wouldn't count on it helping elderly. Because what if some people in one group were naturally smarter and they averaged the scores? But it did say that the people who needed it the most were the scorers with highest difference. I don't play World of Warcraft so I don't really know how it works.
I don't even know what to say, because this sounds kind of odd. But if it works, it works! I wonder if there are other video games that could help the elderly.
I totally believe this. I don't game as much anymore, but when I did it improved reflexes and many other cognitive activities. I think that gaming is really an overlooked form of a way to help people mentally. In conclusion, parents, maybe video games aren't so bad.
I think this is so cool. If this does in fact help the elderly, it is very interesting that the games that are supposed to improve physical and mental ability don't while World of Warcraft does. I am not exactly sure what to do in World of Warcraft because I have never played, but it is still interesting to me.
I think this is a very interesting article. World of Warcraft is not the only game that can do this. There have been other studies, looking at other games, which is why some people place wiis in nursing homes to help older individuals with cognitive abilities. Most complex games, if you play them a lot, will help you in your cognitive abilities. I think that the makers of this article specifically chose World of Warcraft because it is so popular, and to Joe, the reason that parents don't like gaming is either because it's to bloody and violent, or your glued to the TV, computer, or whatever, and refuse to do anything else.
This is really cool. This game is really popular. The studies do seem pretty accurate but I don't really think it could help the elderly. Like Cypress, I do not play World of Warcraft so I do not really know what you do in the game that could possibly have some effect on the elderly.
I don't really think this helps the elderly. They said in the article that things increased, but never mentioned any percentages, just "a lot". This is not clear enough, because we don't know what their version of "a lot" is.

I think that it's really funny that the main mass multiplayer game (MMO) would even be able to elp older people with their cognitive skills.

Many sites say that games help people, but I don't think they're real. After all, why couldn't you do some other brain exercises, like Sudoku?

So does this mean playing video games can help your brain? I now know what I'm going to do with my life.
Wait, does this mean that video games are GOOD for you? I'm going to play video games even more now!
