You know that game in Brain Age where you get a quick look at a batch of numbers then have to tap them in numerical order after they're hidden? In news that must please the good Dr. Kawashima to no end, scientists at Kyoto University have found that five-year-old chimps are able to perform a (very) similar feat much faster than a group of nine able-minded college students on a touchscreen test bed that resembles the best-selling DS game.

Have a watch of these two videos, very impressive!!

Those DS games were proven to have little affect on your mental ability and are pretty much useless.

I wonder if it has anything to do with reliance on technology to remember things.
