Want better brain power? Play video games
CHICAGO — Roman Rivera grew up crazy about video games. He
avoided his mom’s screen-time limits by secretly playing his Game Boy after
bedtime. Now that he is 21, he spends up to four hours a day battling enemies in
“Dota 2.”
Yet Rivera was an "A" student in high school. Today,
he is studying at the University of Chicago, one of the country's best
universities. Gaming helped him to get there, he said.
Rivera said video games led him to be interested in more things.
He believes they also made him smarter. “Without a doubt they have benefited
me.” He may be right.
Too Busy To Bully
New studies have found that gaming might have value. Scientists
have recently linked gaming with better brain power, decision-making and even
physical fitness.
"It seems to have really interesting positive effects,”
said Daphne Bavelier. She researches video games at the University of Rochester
in New York.
Professors have done thousands of studies on gaming since the
1980s. Most of them found that gaming is bad for kids. The studies linked video
games to violence and weight gain.
A new generation of scientists more familiar with technology has
come along. Different results have often appeared, said Christopher Ferguson, a
professor at Stetson University in Florida.
Ferguson found that violent video games do not necessarily make
kids violent. Instead, children who play violent games may be less likely to be
bullies, he said.
Ferguson guessed that kids use video games to get out strong
feelings. They also might be so busy "they don’t have time to bully other
kids,” he said.
And Too Busy For Junk
Food
Another take on video-game violence came from University of
Buffalo professor Matthew Grizzard.
He found that kids who played the evil characters in shooter
games often felt bad about it.
Gaming has often been linked to being overweight. Professor
Chennan Liu found the opposite. People who play video games for three to six
hours a day were thinner than those who played less, she found.
Kids playing video games move around more than if they were just
watching TV, she said. They also seemed to be less likely to pick up a snack or
a soda.
That theory made sense to Dan Wojtowicz, age 18. He is a high
school student in Illinois. Wojtowicz spends up to seven hours a day playing
video games.
He said when he goes on long gaming streaks he does not feel as
hungry. “I can go without eating for three to four hours.”
Brain Games
The most interesting studies look at how gaming affects the
brain. Simone Kuhn is a scientist in Berlin, Germany. She found that areas of
the brain grow stronger in people who play games. The changes could improve
memory and the ability to understand directions and travel around.
Not everyone agrees that gaming is good for you. Joseph Bisoglio
has studied gaming at Columbia University Medical Center in New York. He said
that scientific studies do not compare gaming with other activities that
exercise the brain. Learning a new language or a musical instrument may be
better for the brain than gaming, he said.
Doug Bakshis questioned the value of gaming when his son began
to play for hours at a time. His son, Noah, has a type of autism. The
disability affects his social skills. But then Noah started opening up more.
Noah, now 15, said gaming has made him more interested in the
world. He saw archery and Japanese culture in video games. Now he is studying
them in the real world. His attention and ability to concentrate have also
improved.
So have his skills at making decisions. Now he tries to deal
with things peacefully, he said.
Gamers can get really attached to the characters in video games,
"and that’s not a bad thing," Noah said.
