Dementia: Understanding the Gradual Decline in Cognitive Abilities
by Alina Kavaya Craft Supplies MelbourneDementia patients may
have trouble speaking, remembering things, using logic, or their memory. If
these talents are lost, people with dementia may find it difficult to do their
regular responsibilities.
In what ways might brain
games help people with dementia?
Playing games is just one
of the many things that can keep someone's mind occupied and interested. But
more importantly, games can encourage cerebral stimulation. This is vital for
senior citizens, particularly those who may experience dementia. An
investigation of the impact of 16 weeks of combined physical and cognitive
"exergame" training was conducted with a focus on older adults. The
study found that there was a noticeable improvement in working memory and
executive function.
An examination conducted
on how computerized cognitive training affected patients with moderate
cognitive impairment. Reasoning, memory, language, and concentration were among
the subjects taught in the program. According to the study's findings, exercise
increased the brain's gray matter volume and may help to maintain overall
cognitive function.
So what use do brain
games for dementia have in relation to these research?
Individuals suffering
from dementia are losing many of their cognitive faculties. These include some
of the cognitive skills that are included in these research, such as thinking
and remembering. Furthermore, more recent research has shown that games
for dementia patients may help to improve these cognitive capacities,
especially for those who have dementia.
Which games are the best
for people who are dementia patients?
Video games have long
been shown to dramatically stimulate brain activity. Having said that, there
are variations among games in the abilities they can impart. So, these are a
few games that may be beneficial for a variety of cognitive capacities,
especially for the mentally ill.
Word searches
Word puzzles are one kind
of game where language is the only focus. Certain games, like crosswords, are
primarily focused on word memory, while other games, place more emphasis on
letter and word order.
Jigsaw puzzles
Jigsaw puzzles are one
type of puzzle game that is very beneficial for memory and reasoning. Jigsaw
puzzles can be quite simple, requiring little hand-eye coordination, or very
complex, requiring a high level of hand-eye coordination and memory recall.
