摘要：
In recent years interest has increased toward mental exercise as a way to promote healthy cognitive aging. Consistent findings have shown that declines in working memory performance are associated with aging. Sudoku is a popular puzzle game that has task demands similar to working memory processes. Younger and older adults completed a battery of tests and solved Sudoku puzzles. The results showed that Sudoku performance had a significant relationship to working memory. This suggests that Sudoku has the potential to become a new focus in the study of mental exercise and cognitive aging.
