“The rules are simple, but the thinking is complex. [...] This makes Go incredibly interesting for education.”
Researcher Daniela Trinks presents “The Association between Go Experience and Sustained Attention in Young Adults,” co-authored with Theresa Martinez Garcia. Drawing on research with 99 Korean university students, the study explores whether experience with the ancient board game “Go” is associated with sustained attention and inhibitory control.
