They were compared to more than 2,700 people who didn’t play any brain games, but spent a similar amount of time surfing the Internet and answering general knowledge questions. All participants were given IQ test before and after the experiment. Researchers said the people who did the brain training didn’t do any better on the test after six weeks than people who had simply been on the Internet. On some sections of the test, the people who surfed the Net scored higher than those playing the games.
研究人員將這些參與者與2700多名沒有玩任何益智游戲,但用相同時間上網并參與普通知識問答的人作對比。在實驗前后,所有參與者均接受了智商測試。研究人員說,在六個星期后的智商測試中,玩益智游戲的人并沒有比那些單純上網的人表現得更為出色。在測試的某些環節,單純上網的人獲得的分數比玩游戲的人還要高。
