It is seen from a research that various brain training methods simply enhance your capacity to retain memory. This is like increasing RAM in a computer. But these do not help capacity to take decision.

Very true, in fact there are different methods to improve working capacity of our brain but the decision making is something that is natural and depends on individuals. Incidentally, I read an article or news item recently which said that if older people do not keep their minds active by way of video games or other methods, they may forget the difference in between kitchen and a toilet. :ohmy:

Keeping brain active is a exercise of brain, it may be way of video game our reading books or solving puzzels.

When you say exercise, it can come in any form. What you mentioned are also the way and means of keeping the brain active. It can, and does differ from person to person.

Yes reaction and grasping capacity may differ but the purpose is same 'keep brain active'

When the intention itself is that of keeping the brain active, then that purpose will be solved. But for some people, a certain activity may look trivial and for some others it may seem challenging. It differs from every person as well as the interests.

Brain is also a muscle. Regular work outs will keep you fit. But when it comes to boosting of IQ, it has limited possibilities.

I think reasoning and solving challenging questions should be a better exercise when it comes to keeping the brain more active and increasing the overall thinking capacity of the brain. There are some tricky interview questions that can also be tried at times.

Brain is a complex set up application, only minute percentage of it is still traceable by medical scientists, there is long way to go, possibly for creating an artificial brain structures.

In case scientists could find a way to make people intelligent by genetic changes, it would be too long and costly process.

That's possible. Memory and decision making doesn't have anything to do with each other. Of course, memory can be increased, but even people with lesser memories can take correct logical decisions.

You don't need memory for decisions. Now with computers and diary, we need not memorize. We need logic and reasoning to arrive at decisions.
