Games – Advantages and Disadvantages
Video games are good for you!
For years video games have been criticized for making people more
antisocial, overweight or depressed. But now researches are finding that games
can actually change us for the better and improve both our body and mind.
Games can help to develop physical skills. Pre-school children who
played interactive games such as the ones available on Wii have been shown to
have improved motor skills, for example, they can kick, catch and throw a ball
better than children who don’t play video games. A study of surgeons who do
microsurgery in Boston found that those who played video games were 27 per cent
faster and made 37 per cent fewer errors than those who didn’t. Vision is also
improved, particularly telling the difference between shades of grey. This is
useful for driving at night, piloting a plane or reading X-rays.
Games also benefit a variety of brain functions, including
decision-making. People who play action-based games make decisions 25 per cent
faster than others and are no less accurate, according to one study. In another
study by researchers from the University of Rochester in New York, experienced
gamers were shown to be able to pay attention to more than six things at once
without getting confused, compared with the four that most people can normally
keep in mind. Additionally, video games can also reduce gender differences.
Scientists have found that women who play games are better able to mentally
manipulate 3D objects.
There is also evidence that gaming can help with psychological problems.
At the University of Auckland in New Zealand, researches asked 94 young people
diagnosed with depression to play a 3D fantasy game called SPARX and in many
cases, the game reduced symptoms of depression more than conventional
treatment. Another research team at Oxford University found that playing Tetris
shortly after exposure to something very upsetting – in the experiment, a film
of traumatic scenes of injury and death was used – can actually prevent people
from having disturbing flashbacks.
The effects are not always so positive, however. Indiana University
researchers carried out brain scans on young men and found evidence that
violent games can alter brain function after as little as a week of play,
affecting regions in the brain associated with emotional control and causing
more aggressive behavior in the player. But Daphne Bavelier, one of the most
experienced researcher in the field, says that the violent action games that
often worry parents the most, may actually have the strongest beneficial effect
on the brain. In the future, we may see many treatments for physical and
neurological problems which incorporate the playing of video games.
