Online Gaming
Research is confirming and giving credence to the fact that spending many hours plating game
online truly enhances the performance of the brain, making an individual to be more effective in
different activities, creativeness and decision making.
Universities across the globe have been carrying out extensive researches that have so far
established the myth that online game players have become lazy robots as they spend more
time in the gaming world which was invented by the gaming industry as a very wrong assertion.
As a matter of fact, findings from the research reveal many mind blowing facts such as:
•
Experienced or veteran online game players have the unique ability to focus on more than
six issues concurrently without becoming confused as against four issues/ things that every
other person can normally focus on at the same time.
•
A study was carried out on 491 children for a period of three years in the Michigan Middle
schools. Ther results revealed that the more the kids occupy themselves in computer games, the
better their performance in standard test of creativeness/ ingenuity not minding the their
gender, race or even the kinds of computer games they played.
•
This results is in sharp contrast to what is observed when they use the internet,
cellphones, or the computer for any other reason, which shows no meaningful impact on their
creativity this clearly shows that the difference is just because of the unique attributes that
gaming has.
•
Online gaming also enhances hand to eye coordination in neurosurgeons.
•
It brings about vision changes which enhances one’s ability to drive better at night
•
It has also established that those that engage action-based computer and video games
have the ability to make decisions by 25% faster more than others who doesn’t play the games
and they do so without losing accuracy
•
Experienced / veteran game players have the ability to take decisions and take actions on
those decisions for up to six times within one second, this is already four times faster than what
many other people can achieve.
How Then Is Online Gaming Able To Achieve This?
What is so special about online games that make them a great exercise for the human brain?
Why and how are they able to enhance inventiveness, awareness and the decision making
process?
The answer is simply because of the process known as stress and reward which the brain o
through especially when online game players focuses for many hours and relish the excitement
produced by the actions happening in the game.
What then follows is a pleasant rush of neurotransmitters such as dopamine which gives
strength to the neural circuits in the brain exactly the same manner that regular exercise helps
in the building of the body’s muscles. Additional game hours perform in similar manner in the
brain just like an extra session in the gym, hence leading to physical development of nerves
needed for daily use of the brain.
Puzzles vs Action
It is quite interesting that the kind of games played in order to enjoy these benefits doesn’t really
matter. At the inception of many of the researches, it was assumed that the effects of games
that are more violent in nature will be different from those games based on strategy or those
with less violent features since different emotions as well as responses were assumed to part of
the gaming process, however, the case turned out to be quite different.
All video and online games possess the same advantages; the vital point is the more thrilling the
game is, and the player gets more immersed in the game, those advantages occurs more
powerfully. The development you derived from playing Angry Birds is same as what you get
from playing an online jigsaw puzzle, where you are competing against other opponents to
finish the puzzled. The same benefits is derived in both so far the players in both games are
engaged fully and get the thrills of success and gratification on completing the games.
