How logical and mathematical games treat patients and adults suffering from dementia

Abstract

Research in recent years has proven the effectiveness of brain games for staving-off the onset of dementia as people we age. This is because games offer both social and mental stimulation especially old people with dementia. Games are good to exercise the brain and to slow down worsening cognitive capacity. Five types of games that are especially suitable for dementia lovers include card games, Bingo, visual games, word puzzles, and video games. To capitalize on this aspect, this paper reviews the potential of logical and mathematical games to induce mental health among the public in general, and old people as well patients of dementia in particular.
