We examined the effect of strategy games (puzzle, turn-based strategy 'TBS', and real-time strategy 'RTS') on inhibition (response inhibition and distractor inhibition) and cerebral hemispheric activation over 4 weeks. Further, the transfer of learning from games to inhibitory control has yet to be examined from the perspectives of time constraint and logic contradiction. Past studies have shown evidence of transfer of learning in action video games, less so in other types, e.g.

Smart-phone-based, everyday puzzle games may offer a valid, portable measure of assessing and monitoring cognition in older adults. Performance on these smartphone-based games was indicative of relative cognitive ability across several cognitive domains at a fixed time point. Further analyses making allowance for multiple comparisons identified a significant unanticipated correlation (r = 0.49 p = 0.007) between number puzzle scores and a measure of nonverbal working memory. As anticipated, a priori, significant correlations were observed between scores on a picture puzzle and visual memory test (r = 0.49 p = 0.007) a word puzzle and estimated verbal IQ (r = 0.53 p = 0.003) and verbal learning (r = 0.30 p = 0.039) tests and a number puzzle and reason-ing/problem solving test (r = 0.42 p = 0.023). Twenty-nine participants, aged 50 -65 years, completed a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery and played three smart-phone-based puzzle games in triplicate: a picture puzzle, a word puzzle and a number puzzle. We examined the strength of relationships that exist between performance on common puzzle games and standard measures of neuropsychological performance. by everyday puzzle games undertaken as a leisure activity at home. Everyday technologies, for example, smartphones represent an opportunity to obtain an objective assessment of a person's cognitive capabilities in a non-threatening, discreet and familiar way, e.g. User-centred approaches to assessment and monitoring, driven by issues such as enjoyability and familiarity, are largely absent. Cognitive assessment typically involves assessing a person's cognitive performance in unfamiliar and arguably unnatural clinical surroundings.
