新しい研究では、定期的にゲームをする人が注意や記憶などの認知機能を測定するタスクで優れたパフォーマンスを示しました。この研究は、リメリック大学のLero Esports Science Research Labで行われ、88人の若者を対象にしました。結果は、定期的なゲーマーが非ゲーマーグループよりもタスクを速く完了できることを示し、これが手術や航空管制などの認知パフォーマンスが重要な分野での影響を持つ可能性があるとされました。また、ゲーマーは一般の人々よりも認知的な疲労に苦しむ可能性が少ないことも示されました。

ビデオゲームをすることで注意力や記憶力が向上する可能性を発見 (New UL-Lero research finds playing video games may improve attention and memory)

Abstract

Recent work demonstrates that those who regularly play action video games (AVGs) consistently outperform non-gamer (NG) controls on tests of various cognitive abilities. AVGs place high demands on several cognitive functions and are often engaged with for long periods of time (e.g., over 2 h), predisposing players to experiencing cognitive fatigue. The detrimental effects of cognitive fatigue have been widely studied in various contexts where accurate performance is crucial, including aviation, military, and sport. Even though AVG players may be prone to experiencing cognitive fatigue, this topic has received little research attention to date. In this study, we compared the effect of a cognitively fatiguing task on the subsequent cognitive performance of action video game players and NG control participants. Our results indicated AVGs showed superior spatial working memory and complex attention abilities while showing no difference from NGs on simple attention performance. Additionally, we found that our cognitive fatigue and control interventions did not differentially affect the cognitive performance of AVGs and NGs in this study. This pre-registered study provides evidence that AVGs show superior cognitive abilities in comparison to a non-gaming population, but do not appear more resilient to cognitive fatigue.
