Answer 1

Almost any intellectual stimulation improves your brain, problem is that you're only learning that first few hours of the game and you've already 'programmed' yourself into mostly reflexes. Have you ever wondered how some people are almost godly at games and some can never get the hang of it? Well, a lot of the time those people have entirely committed the games to reflex, and the thought process has been taken out of the stimulus-response loop.

If you're interested in increasing brain cell count, you need to do things that really strain your brain: work hard on your homework, do a crossword, do a sudoku. It's like a muscle in that sense, if you use it more you build it up, and no, this isn't just some pro-homework rambling: if you use your brain frequently, you're releasing a lot of brain hormones and chemicals, these hormones stimulate the brain cells to multiply. Another way to release this same chemical in a much less challenging way: sex. The orgasm you feel is literally the brain rushing itself with a lot of it's feel-good chemicals, and in that is the cellular division chemical.

Sorry bud, but video games large and by won't increase your brain unless you obsessively play puzzle games. Halo don't make you smarter, however those kind of games do make your brain work harder, but not intellectually. It makes it work harder in observation skills and in fine-tuning your reflexes. On average a person can keep in mind about 3-4 different objects/things/people without slowing down. Your average gamer keeps track of almost three times as much, because you're naturally keeping an eye on lifebars, in-coming enemies, what they're each doing... ect. ect.

I hope this was informative.

V & computer games may lead to an unhealthy addiction which isolates you socially but at least you can concentrate for hours on end. There is the need for parental monitoring, yeah right, who has the time to do that 24/7. TV and computer games are the glorified nanny's who keep children intrigued for hours, changes personalities with a flick of a button, influences attitudes whether negative or positive, on call 24/7 at your disposal, never judgmental or critical yet makes you feel you are in control at all times, false hopes? What more do you need. TV and computer games have there place because learning comes from what you visually see and acting upon it, but when it can't be differentiated between reality and fantasy then we are in trouble. Some have cleverly made a career out of so called negative ideals but do I dare say that watching excessive amounts of TV and playing computer games will make

In general the answer is NO, for example if you play tick-tac-toe a million times it will not likely improve your brain function, in fact it will likely hurt it because you will blaze in a trail.

However, if you play a higher strategy game like Checkers after playing Tic-tac-toe perhaps 50 times then the variation of strategy games will improve brain function.

Let's go further, if you move up to the next level of strategy games to Risk and Stratego now you can still have a degree of fun while developing more brain power.

Moving higher still, to the most well know strategy brain games on earth -- Chess and Go, both have enjoy a population of about 2 billion player each. Now the game is actually a mind exercise and a brain workout.

If you want to move up even further you go to Armis, it's a HIGH strategy board game that is specifically designed to provide a brain workout on many different levels. Armis has a very steep learning curve, far more complex than all of the above games (perhaps put together) because it plays on multiple spaces (land, air, and sea), permits multiple piece moves, involves an asymmetric game board, have over 2.5 million proper setups, has pieces with conditional power, involves moral decision making, and even permits friendly-fire. The game is designed for fast game play so that you develop your sub conscious mind as well as your conscious mind. Armis teaches you to know how to know, motivates you to use that knowledge to learn complex matters easier and faster, then inspires you to plan for and attain success.

Well, playing games is good but don't make you smarter in any form. It would even cause more problem if one become addicted to it. By the nature of all games, it encourages laziness, you can't read your books or may even forgot that you have an examination the following day.

Answer 5
