Neural and cognitive effects
Video games and Brain
Brain plasticity
The brain can be shaped and strengthens connections based on experience
Improving cognitive functions according to the type of game
Differences by game type
Action (FPS/TPS)
Greater effects on perception, attention, and spatial cognition
Puzzle / Strategy
Potential improvements in problem solving
Neural effects
Some games increase activity in regions of the brain
Over time, activity may decrease because the brain becomes more efficient
Main cognitive effects
working memory
Helps you remember information that changes every second
spatial cognition
Better space management, orientation, and navigation
Perception and visual speed
Better stimulus recognition, faster and more accurate vision
Attention
They improve selective attention and the ability to ignore distractions
