Playing Video Games In Childhood Can Boost Memory, Research Claims

It is said that addiction to playing video games can be detrimental to the mental development of children.

But now a study claims that the habit of playing video games will help improve children’s memory. This was revealed in a study conducted in Spain.

Research from the Open University of Catalonia found that even after quitting playing video games, it results in various brain changes over the years.

The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neurosciences, included 27 people between the ages of 18 and 40, some of whom played video games while others stayed away.

The researchers said that people who were interested in video games before adolescence, even if they played for a very short time, performed better in working memory tests, which required mental stability and mastery of details.

The study found that people who were not interested in playing video games as children did not benefit from the benefits of detailed analysis and mental retardation.

In fact, they were a bit slower than gamers.
