The study is of course contested for a variety of reasons: Primarily, that it was too small to be scientifically rigorous. But if it pans out, this is good news for people who want to improve their intelligence through video games, or at least help stave off the effects of old age with them.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/91581"><P><A href="http://f3.yahoofs.com/ymg/null__10/null-984459319-1209742608.jpg?ymRkMU_CNz.bpv9y"><IMG border="0" src="http://f3.yahoofs.com/ymg/null__10/null-984459319-1209742608_thumb.jpg?ymSkMU_CGxZTczAQ" /></A><STRONG><A href="https://www.lumosity.com/">Lumosity</A> (Web)<BR /></STRONG></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/91581"><P><STRONG><A href="http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/b/brainchallengexboxlivearcade/">Brain Challenge</A> (Xbox Live Arcade)</STRONG></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/91581"><P><STRONG><A href="http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/r/randbxboxlivearcade/">Rocky & Bullwinkle</A> (Xbox Live Arcade)</STRONG></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/91581"><P><STRONG><A href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000YHDDCQ/filmcriticcom">Blokus Portable: Steambot Championship</A> (PSP)</STRONG></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/91581"><P><STRONG><A href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00139U8TU/filmcriticcom">Wild Earth: African Safari</A> (Wii)</STRONG></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FD34FF37-20EE-4653-89E4-D8C9FD2E44B7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
