Final Project: How video games benefit gamers

Contents

This is a question that many individuals have posed and for which they have wished to get an answer. The question is: Do video games help improve people's skills? As studies have proven, people who play video games demonstrate improved real-world and communication skills as opposed to those who do not play video games.

First, more than a third of children who play video games believe that the games help them become better readers, with the vast majority (79.4 percent) reading gaming-related materials at least once a week. In-game discussions, reviews, and books were just a few of the resources made available. Aside from helping gamers improve their writing skills, all of this reading may also be benefiting them. According to a poll, around three out of five young people who play video games also write something linked to gaming once a month.

Second, it has been claimed by academics that gaming encourages greater communication with friends and family since it is a "shared cultural experience" Young people who play video games are more likely than any other to speak to their classmates about them, according to a survey, with 3 in 4 talking about video games and just 3 in 10 talking about literature.

Next, when it comes to delayed pleasure and self-discipline, patience serves as the foundation. The topic of identifying costs and occasions for which one must "save up" resources is a prevalent one in role-playing games. The act of holding one's breath while waiting to purchase anything in a game fosters excellent time management, emotional control, and resource allocation. In certain contemporary games, cost-benefit analysis and opportunity costing are required, which may be used to predict results in real life, particularly in the commercial sphere.

Furthermore, it has been shown that gamers are better at quickly analyzing situations, producing new knowledge, and classifying data – especially in situations where there is a great deal of ambiguity.

Last, playing video games has also been demonstrated to improve problem-solving abilities, spatial and hand-eye coordination skills, as well as eyesight and speed abilities in participants. Adolescents who participated in role-playing and strategy-based games demonstrated improved problem-solving abilities. Children that participate in any form of video game have improved imagination. Because the timing of an action is critical in video games, video games may be used to teach timing abilities. Puzzle games may help players develop organizational abilities, and resource management is another important skill in video games since many games give a player with a limited quantity of resources that must be rationed in order to finish the game successfully.

In conclusion, video games have been proven to improve people in many skills. Aside from cognitive abilities, video games have been shown to improve hand-eye coordination. The capacity of video games to build a broad range of abilities is appealing to educators and trainers, especially when teaching tough to engage people. Video games have been proven to be beneficial to many people. Video games might continue improving people’s skills, with new games coming very often.
