| Annotation | Recently there has been increased interest in mental exercise as a way to promote healthy cognitive ageing. Consistent findings have shown that declines in working memory performance are associated with ageing. Sudoku is a popular puzzle game that has task demands similar to working memory processes. In the present study younger and older adults completed a battery of tests and solved Sudoku puzzles. The results showed that Sudoku performance had a significant relationship to working memory. This suggests that Sudoku has the potential to become a new focus in the study of mental exercise and cognitive aging. (JL). |
