Video Games Boost Brain Power, Multitasking Skills

datorspēles trenē uzmanības noturību, reakcijas ātrumu, redzi. tās ir reālajā dzīvē derīgas īpašības. piemēram, spēlētājiem bija uztrenēta spēja izšķirt daudzas pelēkās krāsas nianses un tas var noderēt vadot automašīnu miglā. ...
datorspēles mazina atšķirību starp dzimumiem. vīrieši parasti labāk darbojas ar 3dimensiju attēliem utt., un šī īpašība tiek trenēta daudzās datorspēlēs. sievietes patrenējoties uzaudzēja smadzeni un šai jomā vairs neatšķīrās no vīriešiem.
To better understand how gamers acquire these non-gaming skills, neuroscientist Lauren Sergio, of York University in Toronto, looks inside the brain. She's found an important difference between gamers and non-gamers in how and where the brain processes information. She likens skilled gamers to musicians.
"If you look at professional piano players, professional musicians, you see this phenomena where they don't activate as much of their brain to do very complicated things with their hands that the rest of us need to do. And we found that the gamers did this as well."
Skilled gamers mainly use their frontal cortex, according to Sergio's fMRI studies. That's an area of the brain specialized for planning, attention and multitasking. Non-gamers, in contrast, predominately use an area called the parietal cortex, the part of the brain specializing in visual spatial functions.
"The non-gamers had to think a lot more and use a lot more of the workhorse parts of their brains for eye-hand coordination," Sergio says. "Whereas the gamers really didn't have to use that much brain at all, and they just used these higher cognitive centers to do it." |
