发布时间：2019-07-09 编辑：查字典英语网小编

Scientists say certain computer games can boost children's reasoning and problem-solving skills, improving their grades at school in a matter of weeks.

科学家称，适当的电子游戏可以提高孩子的推理和解决问题能力，几天内提高他们在学校的学习成绩。

No, "Super Mario" does not qualify.

不，《超级玛丽》并不合格。

However, the London Daily Mail reports the folks at Nintendo are promoting games that stimulate the mind and improve children's IQs. There are compelling reasons to do so, given the fresh research.

然而，伦敦每日邮报报道，任天堂公司的人员正在开发刺激思维和提高儿童IQ的游戏。由于有新的研究表明，有令人信服的原因促使他们这样做。

According to the newspaper, psychologists at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor tested 62 children with an average age of 8.

根据报道，安阿伯市密歇根大学的心理学家对62名平均年龄8岁的儿童进行了测试。

Half the kids played video games that tested their memories for 15 minutes a day. The games focused on their "working memory" -- the brain's ability to hold information while it solves a problem. The rest of the kids spent the same period testing their general knowledge and vocabulary.

一半孩子玩电子游戏，每天花15分钟测试他们的记忆力。这些游戏集中于他们的“工作内存”——大脑在解决问题时处理信息的能力。剩余的孩子用同样的时间测试他们的基本知识和词汇。

Even three months after the test, researchers found, the kids who played the computer games were doing better on tests of abstract reasoning and problem solving.

测试后三个月，研究人员发现，玩电子游戏的孩子在进行推理和问题解决的测试时表现得更好。

"The current findings add to the literature demonstrating that brain training works, and that transfer effects may even persist over time," lead researcher Susanne Jaeggi tells the Mail.

“目前的调查结果增加文献论证证明大脑训练起作用，而且这种训练迁移效果随着时间的流逝而保持下来。”主要研究人员Susanne Jaeggi告诉每日邮报。

But don't go out and buy your kid a new computer game just yet.

但是不要特地出去就为你的孩子买一个电子游戏。

The Daily Mail adds a study two years ago at Stirling University in Scotland found some kids didn't benefit at all from using the games while others shot from the bottom to the top of their classes.

每日邮报还报道了两年前苏格兰斯特灵大学的一项研究，表明一些孩子完全没有从电子游戏中受益，还有些孩子整节课都在玩游戏。
