Most cognitive functions of young adults at around 20 years of age do not reach the peak,. Other cognitive functions such as semantic knowledge develop to the age of 60 or 70. Some cognitive functions such as executive functions and working memory reach a peak in 20′s or 30′s. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.Ĭan video game training, specifically that using commercial brain-training games, improve cognitive function in healthy young adults? Cognitive functions change throughout life. All other authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
