THE GLOBE AND MAIL REFERRED TO ARMENIAN CHESS AND THE LINK BETWEEN CHESS AND SMART, MATURE KIDS
12:29, 16 April, 2013
YEREVAN, APRIL 16, ARMENPRESS: The Globe and Mail Canadian newspaper
referred to Armenian chess, trying to discover the link between chess
and smart, mature kids, reports Armenpress. In its Facts and Arguments
it is said: "In September, 2011, Armenia made chess a required subject
for all children over the age of six," writes Alex Berezow in Pacific
Standard magazine. Indeed, the Armenians may be onto something. One
recent psychology study found that chess was associated with greater
'cognitive abilities, coping and problem-solving capacity, and even
socio-affective development of children."
Because it was a cohort (observational) study, the newspaper inferred
that the link could be due to some third factor or the possibility
that smart, mature children are more inclined to play chess in the
first place.
