Aging, as related to cognitive abilities:
Older adults (aged 60-81 years old) who play digital puzzle games have similar memory and concentration abilities as younger adults (aged 18-30 years old)
(Source: Cutting, J., et al., Higher working memory capacity and distraction-resistance associated with strategy (not action) game playing in younger adults, but puzzle game playing in older adults. Heliyon, 2023; 9 (8): e19098 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e19098).
