Scientists at the U.K.'s University of York found the memory of adults ages 60 and older who play digital puzzle games is as good as that of people in their 20s. The researchers tested various games parallel to a digital experiment requiring participants to memorize images while being distracted.
However, older people who only played strategy games were more likely to forget elements they memorized while being distracted, and young people were less able to concentrate when playing only puzzle games.
