Study regarding The Development of Memory and Thinking in Children using the Game of Chess

Abstract

The development of memory and thinking in children who practice chess is very important for their access to performance. In this study we focused on the application of standardized tests to observe whether playing chess in an organized matter will develop thinking faster than children who do not practice this sport. Also, the visual memory of young school children can be improved by chess, as it becomes superior to those of the same age who do not play chess.
