Abstract
Surprise! According to findings in the article entitled "Computerized Games versus Crosswords Training in Mild Cognitive Impairment," now published in <i>NEJM Evidence</i>,<sup>1</sup> solving crosswords had a more beneficial effect on older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) than training with an array of Web-based brain games. The researchers had hypothesized just the opposite outcome, in part, on the basis of the findings of a 2015 study<sup>2</sup> involving cognitively intact participants of a greater age range (18-80 years of age in the earlier study vs. 55-95 years of age in the current study).
