(GivenUs.com) – Now more than ever, people are looking for ways to escape from reality and take their minds off of life’s stressors. Gaming is a great option. It can be helpful for managing stress, but it may do far more than that.
This video explains how the stimulation from gaming may actually make you smarter.
So why not grab a controller, have some fun and boost your brain power? Here’s a breakdown of what video games can do.
Increase Cognitive Function
According to the video, gamers who engaged in playing for at least 30 minutes a day for 2 months saw an increase in abilities like:
- Memory
- Strategic planning
- Fine motor skills
In addition, gaming may help players pay closer attention to details in real life. These benefits could be particularly helpful for players who struggle with certain cognitive deficits.
Help With Problem Solving
Games could make people smarter in multiple ways because video games stimulate numerous regions in the brain. As a result, gamers may more easily recognize and respond to visual cues, practice better spatial skills and react better in certain emotional situations.
Not all video gaming is bad. The brain works hard to adapt to situations, and that includes challenges you face in virtual reality and gaming. Go ahead — lose yourself in a game for a while. As long you do it in moderation, it can be a good thing.
