Action video game modifies visual selective attention [PDF]
by Jeremy at 10:45 am EDT, May 29, 2003

Abstract: As video-game playing has become a ubiquitous activity in today’s society, it is worth considering its potential consequences on perceptual and motor skills.

Here we show that action-video-game playing is capable of altering a range of visual skills. Four experiments establish changes in different aspects of visual attention in habitual video-game players as compared with non-video-game players. In a fifth experiment,
non-players trained on an action video game show marked improvement from their pre-training abilities, thereby establishing the role of playing in this effect.

Here is the article in today's issue of Nature. Subscription required.
