How do puzzles benefit our brains?

512 views

Like, yeah I can see how it helps keep your brain active by like ‘solving problems’, but how else does it benefit the brain?

How does it improve the brain? What specifically happens? Are there other types of ‘puzzles’ we could create to better help ourselves or even overcome certain problems?

Exercises memory too I guess?

Your brain shrinks and grows depending on what skill you use. So if you play baseball hand to etc coordination will increase.

Brain training games will mostly just improve your ability to play brain training games with some bleed over into individual activities.

Learning protects your brain because you are strengthening connections, with good sleep you are then sorting that information and detoxing.

Doing block puzzles and operating various types of machinery that requires spatial awareness will improve your spatial awareness.

Counting using an abacus or writing a language that is very symbolic can help with maths skills.

Writing with a pen will help more than typing. Using additional senses to learn such as sound, touch and smell will strengthen that learning even more.
