WHY IS VIDEO GAMES USEFUL? even if you are an adult... A popular stereotype is that games are harmful. They overload the brain or just burn time. NONSENSE! You can get a LOT of BENEFITS from gaming, if you know when to stop! 🎯STRESS RELIEF Researchers from the University of Central Florida have shown that a short video game break at work is much more effective in relieving stress than doing nothing with no gadgets or even meditating. This is not the only study proving the positive effects of games on the psyche. An experiment by Oxford scientists showed that children aged 10 to 15 who play video games are more emotionally balanced than those who ignore them. 🎯SOCIALIZATION One of the main stereotypes about video games is that they supposedly make gamers withdrawn and tear them away from reality. Parents see how their children sit in front of the monitor for days and do not see their peers in life. In reality, games, on the contrary, contribute to the socialization of people. In 2015, the Pew Research Center published a study on how gamers aged 13-17 are socialized through video games. It turned out that 36% of boys made friends through video games, more than half of them through online games. Among female gamers, only 13% have made acquaintances in online games, but there are also fewer female gamers than boys. 🎯YOU GET SMARTER AND REMEMBER BETTER Researchers from the Open University of Catalonia have found that video games can positively affect memory, the ability to solve difficult problems, build algorithms, improve attentiveness and other cognitive abilities of the brain. It turned out that in video game lovers, the right side of the hippocampus, which is responsible for memory, increases over time. It turns out that those who spend a lot of time on the PC solve difficult problems using much less brain areas than those who ignore games! It was interesting? 😉 © CryptoGuru Image taken from Freepik
