Compared to the control group, the cognitive training group also retained more complex visual information after training. In addition, participants in the cognitive training group indicated that they enjoyed playing the game and were motivated to continue playing across the eight hours of cognitive training. The researchers say that this demonstrates that games can help maximise engagement with cognitive training. Participants in the cognitive training group played the memory game for a total of eight one-hour sessions over a four-week period while participants in the control group continued their clinic visits as usual.
