Abstract

Cognitive stimulation apps are increasingly recognized as tools designed to enhance mental acuity through engaging, interactive exercises and games. These apps typically offer a variety of activities, including puzzles, memory tasks, and problem-solving challenges, aimed at targeting and improving specific cognitive functions such as attention, reasoning, and language skills. This paper explores the efficacy of these cognitive stimulation apps in fostering cognitive development and maintaining mental sharpness. By examining their design, features, and user engagement, we assess their potential benefits and limitations in promoting cognitive health. The review also considers the scientific evidence supporting the impact of these apps on cognitive function and provides insights into their role as a supplementary tool for cognitive enhancement.
