A study by the Wheaton school shows that players who play video games are more likely to solve a series of complex problems. This study led by psychology professor Rolf Nelson tested 20 students from school with a series of spatial problems to be resolved. The problem did it before and after playing a video game.
One group played a game of aion kinah while the other was devoted to playing a puzzle game. After finishing the experiment the final conclusion is that students who played the action game solved the problem faster but less accurate, while students who dedicated themselves to play puzzle game could solve the problem more accurately but more slowly than before.
