Cognitive Function Exercised

The main brain area at play is the left temporal lobe where the seat of language is located for most people who are right-handed. This exercise requires concentration, a solid vocabulary and good semantics which refers to aspects of meaning, as expressed in language.

Benefits to Daily Life

Everyday, we use the various aspects of language, oral comprehension and expression, and reading and writing. We exercise our vocabulary and grammatical skills when we write a letter, an essay or a report. We try to carefully choose the right word that expresses what we mean. On a daily basis we need to build coherent texts and in order to do that we must judiciously choose relevant and grammatically correct words out of our repertoire.
