American scientists have found that gamers better perceive visual information than those who do not play at all. But the main thing - to observe moderation. From one to five hours a week, according to experts, it is quite enough to benefit from the video games.
Scientists from the University of Trent Two groups of volunteers gathered in Nottingham to perform tasks for observation and reaction speed. In one of the groups included gamers (game from 1 to 5 hours per week), the other - not interested in video games people. One of the tasks is as follows. The screen flashed various images, after observing that participants in the experiment were to remember the color and location of the two elements.
Gamers are able to perform this test by an average of 5% better than the rest. According to scientists, this is due to their ability to more quickly and efficiently process visual information. This kind of observation can be useful in everyday life - during exercise, driving or operation that requires careful monitoring, for example, systems surveillance.
