Video gamers improves learning skills

New York: Playing video games not only improves visual skills but also improves learning ability for acquiring those skills, finds a study from the Brown University. “When we study perceptual learning, we usually exclude people who have tones of video game playing time because they seem to have different visual processing. They are quicker and more accurate," explained senior author and associate professor Yuka Sasaki. It may be possible that the vast amount of visual training frequent gamers receive over the years could help contribute to honing consolidation mechanisms in the brain, especially for visually developed skills.
