Research findings suggest that video games could be a useful tool for training in perceptual decision-making. Superior sensorimotor decision-making skills and enhanced activity in key regions of the brain are shown in frequent video game players as compared to non-players. This is according to a
According to new research, people that frequently play video games show superior sensorimotor decision-making skills and enhanced activity in key regions of the brain.
“Video games are played by the overwhelming majority of our youth more than three hours every week, but the beneficial effects on decision-making abilities and the brain are not exactly known,” said lead researcher Mukesh Dhamala, associate professor in Georgia State’s Department of Physics and Astronomy and the university’s Neuroscience Institute.
Jordan, who received a Ph.D. in physics and astronomy from Georgia State in 2021, had weak vision in one eye as a child. As part of a research study when he was about 5 years old, he was asked to cover his good eye and play video games as a way to strengthen the vision in the weak one. Jordan credits video game training with helping him go from legally blind in one eye to building strong capacity for visual processing, allowing him to eventually play lacrosse and paintball.
According to the research findings, people that play video games were faster and more accurate with their responses.
