Numerous studies conducted in the last decade indicate that brain development is greatly enhanced by exposure to music and music instruction.
According to Prof. Howard Gardner of Harvard University “music may be a privileged organizer of cognitive processes, especially among young people.”
Music benefits older adults too. At present, the consensus in the scientific community is that music stimulates parts of the brain critical to logic, perception, memory, and communication among brain regions,” as well as parts used for “decoding complex ideas.”
Another tool that had been shown to be highly effective in stimulating brain is puzzle solving. Puzzles are crucial in introducing math reasoning and various concepts of temporal and spatial awareness. Solving puzzles had been shown to dramatically improve understanding of complex structures.
In a recent study, French researchers had determined that people who engage in lifelong puzzle solving are far less likely to develop degenerative brain dysfunctions in old age.
