Researching this topic has taught me that video games, in general, have about the same effects. There have been many mentions of attention, memory, rotating objects mentally, and faster reaction times. The article that interested me enough to blog about this week has to do with video games' memory and attention effects. A study was done with action video games. It was found that the participants had brain imaging done, finding that their ability to obtain attention resources from their brain was more automatic. They were able to filter out irrelevant information. Another study was done on non-action video games, the participants underwent neuropsychological tests that measured the following: processing, speed, attention, executive control, spatial working memory, and episodic memory. The group results were that the group showed improvement in controlled processing, attention, immediate and delayed recall memory.
