  - - - "By forcing players to simultaneously juggle a number of varied tasks (detect new enemies, track existing enemies and avoid getting hurt, among others), action-video-game playing pushes the limits of three rather different aspects of visual attention.

As gamers progress through the various levels of the virtual world in which they’re immersed, they’ll be learning the names of real things they encounter, such as places, characters, objects, treasures etc, and thereby boosting their vocabulary."(ICLS para.4)
