Brain training apps can help you stay sharp, and these make the process fun and easy!<\/p>\n<p>By using brain training apps, it\u2019s possible to improve your concentration skills or even gain a stronger memory. They may even help your mind stay sharp as you age. With these fun apps and games, you\u2019ll be better at these skills, which could even carry over to how your brain performs tasks in real life.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Brain_Training_Apps_Actually_Work\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_DoBrainTrainingAppsActuallyWork\">Do Brain Training Apps Actually Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A consensus among scientists is yet to be reached about whether or not brain training apps are <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/does-brain-training-actually-work\">actually effective<\/a>. Many believe that there is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.3758\/s13423-015-0967-4\">no proof<\/a> that these games are ineffective, while others are sure <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/longevity.stanford.edu\/a-consensus-on-the-brain-training-industry-from-the-scientific-community-2\/\">they don\u2019t work<\/a>. There are many inconsistent and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s41465-019-00134-7\">different conclusions<\/a> out there, plus with so many brain training apps out there making <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2016\/09\/06\/lumosity-reels-federal-crackdown\/\">hyperbolic promises<\/a> of the health benefits that can be reaped from their apps, it\u2019s understandable if it confuses you, too.<\/p>\n<p>Mostly, the controversies settle around whether the sometimes-odd tasks one is asked to complete within these apps\u2014like feeding a group of fish or completing simple rapid-fire arithmetic problems\u2014have any consequential impact on your brain or daily life. Likewise, proponents in favor of brain games counter this by saying the brain is like a muscle that needs to be regularly exercised and toned, and that repetition and regular practice can absolutely make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/healthletter.mayoclinic.com\/issues\/may-2019\/do-brain-training-memory-apps-really-work\">Mayo Clinic<\/a>, however, results are mild to moderate at best with no strong evidence in any direction. Part of the problem is that there aren\u2019t any long-term studies (spanning multiple decades) that have been completed on the topic to add sufficient evidence to either side.<\/p>\n<p>So, unfortunately, any definitive conclusion regarding the efficacy of brain training apps is still up in the air. We think the truth lies somewhere in the middle, that they can probably do a little to sharpen your mind. Either way, these apps and games are super fun to <span class=\"htgeditornotesel\">play<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_Brain_Training_Apps_Work\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_HowDoBrainTrainingAppsWork\">How Do Brain Training Apps Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Using a brain training app is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/do-brain-training-apps-work\/\">considered<\/a> to be an active behavior, rather than one that\u2019s passive, according to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/college.lclark.edu\/live\/profiles\/28-tamily-weissmanunni\">Tamily Weissman<\/a>, PhD, neuroscientist, and Associate Professor of Biology at Lewis &amp; Clark College.
