Playing 3D video games can boost memory formation
Are you hooked to 3D video games? Well, if yes, that may not be too bad as new research reveals that playing 3D video games, besides being lots of fun, can also boost the formation of memories.
New York: Are you hooked to 3D video games? Well, if yes, that may not be too bad as new research reveals that playing 3D video games, besides being lots of fun, can also boost the formation of memories.
Along with adding to the trove of research that shows these games can improve eye-hand coordination and reaction time, this finding shows the potential for novel virtual approaches to helping people who lose memory as they age or suffer from dementia.
For their research, University of California-Irvine neurobiologists Craig Stark and Dane Clemenson recruited non-gamer college students to play either a video game with a passive, two-dimensional environment (Angry Birds) or one with an intricate, 3D setting (Super Mario 3D World) for 30 minutes per day over two weeks.
Before and after the two-week period, the students took memory tests that engaged the brain's hippocampus, the region associated with complex learning and memory.
