This confused me. I would expect this to be the most meaningfully way to get around.The researchers said that those players who tended to orientate themselves in video games using landmarks rather than remembering directions were likely to benefit from playing, however these were in the minority.
Apparently the caudate nucleus and hippocampus compete for spatial memory duties in people and for whatever reason gamers are twice as likely to rely primarily on the CN instead of the hippocampus. Haven't found a proper explanation as to why.
Interestingly the caudate nucleus is also the reward center of the brain and is linked with drug addiction. Lol. Blizzard slot machine exploiting gamer brain #confirmed.

They can have a number of positive effects (hand eye coordination, reaction time / attention, memory, problem solving, some more interactive games can assist in warding off dementia).
100 people for 90 hours. That's like... saying 'playing video games EVER will KILL you'. 90 hours is what a lot of people will burn through in a month. All this shows is that it causes minor changes for a temporary time, nothing more. I'm pretty sure I've literally done more 'study' than the entire study in my own time.They recruited 51 men and 46 women and asked them to play a variety of popular shooter games like Call of Duty, Killzone and Borderlands 2, as well as so-called 3D games such as Super Mario, for a total of 90 hours.
Also news, when you eat food, you're heaving immediately after eating it. Recent studies also show that water in some instances may prove to be wet.

I heard starting threads without reading article damages brain. Or was it from preexisting brain damage? Study is inconclusive because of only 1 participant.
I know for sure that I'm not the only person on this website who almost destroyed their life through a World of Warcraft addiction so I'm pretty sure I have some clue about what I'm talking about.

Also the amount of hours that unemployed men in the US spend playing video games is truly pathetic.
Another study found that if a study has a sample size below at least 1000 then the study results can be ignored.
All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side
Yup,
and playing WoW makes you another copy of Breivink,
playing Doom makes you a highschool shooter,
and gaming makes you a white supremacist chanting Hitler is the greatest and giving Nazi salutes.
When will the media stop trashtalking gamers in general. Each human has a switch that needs to be flicked before doing something insane. That flicking of a switch can be caused by multiple things. Gaming violence, car violence, parents dying... so maybe we should suggest that we should all be born in tubes and be kept alone in a locked room to make sure we don't become influenced by whatever it is in this world that triggers the switch.
And brain damage can get caused by almost anything... watching horror movies, watching SpongeBob... Let's just not live all together
Title is very incorrect.
It doesn't damage the brain, it promotes development in a different area.
This isn't an issue with shooters (despite that being what they tested), it's about extremely linear games that have little to no thought process needed on how to progress from one point to the next... If you put the player in an open world shooter like Fallout, it would not have this effect, nor would large scale multiplayer like Battlefield, ARMA, PUBG, Planetside2, etc. because those games don't push you down a corridor, pop targets up directly infront of you and tell you exactly where to go and what to do like the single player campaigns of CoD, Killzone, and Borderlands2, which are all very linear games.
This is a linear game issue, not a shooter issue.

A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don’t have one, you’ll probably never need one again.
