What Daphne Bavelier argues is that, in moderation, video games can have a positive effect on a person’s vision and can help a person learn. Gamers, especially action fans, can keep track of more information better than non-gamers and rotate images better, along with adapting to conflicting tasks such as the Stroop Test.
David Perry argues that individuals, especially those from my cohort age group (late 20s) find video games to be quite immersive and could be considered “better” than real life.
What are your thoughts on this?
