The positive effects of gaming
Outline
THESIS: Gaming
has a number of positive effects like helping dyslexics, boosting reaction time
and developing in studies
1. Helps
dyslexia
A. Dyslexia can cause trouble with reading,
writing, memory retainment, and general brain functionality.
B.
Action video games chosen to improve attention can boost reading skills in
people with dyslexia.
2.
Boost reaction Time
A. Reaction
time is a skill which can be the most important skill, for a gamer to have.
B. Training your action
time by playing video games and high speed fps games causes reaction speeds to
increase significantly.
3.
Helps In studies
A. Video games every
time helped when studying languages.
B. The results showed
that students considered the game helpful in improving their language skills
and motivation.
CONCLUSION:
In conclusion thanks for many research we can see that there are medical,
abilities skills improving and studying effects of playing.
Important research has already been conducted for
decades on the negative effects of gaming, including addiction, depression, and
aggression, and it is certainly not suggested that this should be ignored.
However, to understand the impact of video games on children’s and adolescents
development, a more balanced perspective is needed. Therefore in this essay the
positive effects of gaming, including helping dyslexics, boosting reaction time
and developing in studies, will be examined.
Firstly,
video games helps Dyslexia. Dyslexia is a widely used name for conditions that
involve trouble with reading, writing, memory retainment, and general brain
functionality. Dyslexia is commonly treated through long hours with reading
writing or speech therapy and these lessons are not cheap either, usually
costing parents thousands of dollars a year but recent studies show that there
may be a better, cheaper and more enjoyable way of treating it. In a test
performed by Oxford University dyslexic children who recently played an action
game had a quicker response time to audio, visual stimulation reading rate and
were more attentive in class. The best video games for helping dyslexia are
active games such as Wii sports (sports games for Wii video game console) or
games like Scrabble and pretty much any action game that requires quick
thinking.
The
secondary point is Reaction time which is probably one of the most cited
benefits of gaming. Reaction time is a skill probably the most important skill,
for a gamer to have. It is a trademark ability of professional players who need
instantaneous reaction time in order to properly react to enemy movements and
strategy. According to governments documents from the NCBI, “training your
action time by playing video games and high-speed fps (first-person shooter)
games causes reaction speeds to absolutely skyrocket” (increase significantly).
Some series definitely increase reaction time or any fps game like
counter-strike, and call of duty.
Lastly,
Video games always helped when studying languages, and now there is a study
which confirms it. In this study (performed by National Taiwan Normal
University) twenty-two college students were asked to play an English game called
Bone. One group could take notes while playing, but the other could not. After
playing, both groups took a vocabulary test. The results showed that both
groups learned some new words after playing the game, but there was no
considerable difference between the two groups gaming performances. The study
has led us to the conclusion that video games can increase college students’
English listening, reading and vocabulary skills. Recommended games for
studying languages are adventures and multiple choice games, such as Life Is
Strange.
All in all
we could see the positive effects of gaming through many research including the
oxford university which oriented the treating dyslexia with active games, as
well the governments documents of the NCBI which said that action games helps
us improve our action speeds and last, but not least the study of National
Taiwan Normal University which highlighted the fact, that video games helps us
developing foreign languages.
