Playing sudoku improves logical reasoning ability.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that playing sudoku improves logical reasoning ability?

Unclear. Two items bear on the claim only partially: a neuroimaging study reports that solving sudoku activates prefrontal regions involved in reasoning, and a teaching note describes using sudoku to teach logical reasoning to grade 2-3 students. Neither measures whether playing sudoku actually improves logical reasoning ability.
