In contrast to all the so-called studies claiming playing games with violent content will inspire real violent, this article on the Globe and Mail web site states that a York University study shows that playing games might actually improve brain activity. Here is a snip:
A new study of 100 university undergraduates in Toronto has found that video gamers consistently outperform their non-playing peers in a series of tricky mental tests. If they also happened to be bilingual, they were unbeatable.
"The people who were video game players were better and faster performers," said psychologist Ellen Bialystok, a research professor at York University. "Those who were bilingual and video game addicts scored best -- particularly at the most difficult tasks."
Thanks to Evil Avatar for the heads-up.
I just thought such news would tickle every ones fancy. News like this just makes me proud to be a gamer! ;)
