The current study examined electrical brain activation in adolescent participants playing three different video games. Forty-five school aged children (M=14.3 years, SD=1.5) were randomly assigned to play either a violent game, non-violent game, or a non-violent game specifically designed to "...
On cognitive tests measuring impulse control and working memory, children who played video games performed better than those who had no such experience. As part of the ABCD study, participants underwent an fMRI of the brain. It showed that children who played video games had greater neural activ...
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI), researchers found the video game players had "enhanced activity in key regions of the brain" and "superior sensorimotor decision-making skills." "Video games are played by the overwhelming majority of our youth more than three hours...
increase the susceptibility to develop IGD. Most importantly, this review also outlines findings that show the effects of excessive use of screens, here referring to the playing of computer games, which activate many brain regions associated with cognitive, motor, and sensory function and not ...
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...
brain activity. Functional MRI (fMRI) brain imaging analyses showed that children who played video games for three or more hours per day showed higher brain activity in regions of the brain associated with attention and memory than those who never played. At the same time, those children who ...
Frequent players of video games show superior sensorimotor decision-making skills and enhanced activity in key regions of the brain as compared to non-players, according to a recent study by Georgia State University researchers. The authors, who usedfunctional magnetic resonanceimaging (FMRI) in the...
Morerecently a systematic reviewof 27 studies, published last year, found video games do improve cognitive skills and decision-making. However, that review did cautiously conclude that although there are brain training benefits to video gaming there are plenty of problems caused by excessive gaming....
Previous studies have found differences inbrain activitybetween action videogame players and non-players, but these could have been attributed to pre-existing differences in the brains of those predisposed to playing videogames and those who avoid them. This is the first time research has attributed...
"Physically-active video games have, according to our research, greater impact on brain functioning than regular physical activity alone, suggesting that their benefits are more than just moving around." Dr Stanmore has just completed a randomised controlled trial in 18 sites in Manchester and Glasgo...
