Study says nonviolent video games are good for your brain
Go ahead, launch another Angry Bird. According to research cited in the Wall Street Joual, frequent gaming can improve everything from decision-making processes to your ability to multitask. In addition, a study of 491 middle schoolers \"found that the more children played computer games\" the better they performed on creativity tests.
That's not to say that their findings were all One Ups and bonus rounds; studies do show that violent games can negatively affect brain function. \"There has been a lot of attention wasted in figuring out whether these things tu us into killing machines,\" analyst Joshua Lewis said. \"Not enough attention has been paid to the unique...features that videogames have outside the violence.\"
Good or bad, has gaming affected you?
