【No. 0217】Interesting Researches about Super Mario.

Jul 23, 2015 13:15
Today, I learned about two interesting researches about Super Mario.

One is related to Super Mario 64, and the other is related to Super Mario Sunshine.

According to the former study done in German, playing Super Mario 64 make people to smarter and to improve their reflexes.

Specifically, brain regions related to memory formation, spatial orientation, strategic planning and fine motor skills seemed to be enlarged.

It was suggested that this game might help in treatment, such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer.

According the the latter study, playing Super Mario Sunshine make people to more kind.

However, this information came from the internet, and I couldn't find the original source.

So this might fake information, but somehow I feel it as truth.

    Hmm. I think "kinder" is grammatically correct, but "more kind" may be ok. Even I'm not sure! orz

Thank you very much for your corrections!
I will use "kinder" from now on! According to the internet, it seems more common than "more kind". :)

I searched for the clear difference between "couldn't" and "wasn't able to" on the internet, but I couldn't(or wasn't able to?) figure it out. It would be very helpful if you could describe it.

> It makes me want to play Super Mario.
Haha, me too. :)

Could/Could not and Was able to/ Was not able to can be interchangeable, but the context will often decide which is chosen.

'Could not' と 'Was not Able to' の交換をすることができます。
でも、特定の文脈で単語を選ばなければなりません。

This webpage is helpful- http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/122310/was-able-to-vs-could 

この場合は... 'Wasn't able to' sounds more fluent.

Thank you very much!
I’ve learned a lot. :D

There is an article about this published in "Nature" (the world's most highly cited interdisciplinary science journal) : http://www.nature.com/mp/journal/v19/n2/full/mp2013120a.html
So no it's not fake at all.
