Summary
The evolution of video games and the great growth of their consumers in recent years has encouraged more and more research on the impact of video games on human health, especially children.
Video games easily capture the attention of players and in that way, if they are of a proper type, they can make it easier for students of all games to master a certain area or get a certain knowledge.
In particular, positive reinforcement to the educational process is definitely related to video games.
"The energization theory of motivation and emotion envisages investing effort and energy in order to master a certain level of knowledge. Then, it is asked to move to a higher, more difficult level, and where possible success guarantees a kind of reward", according to Elijah Sanchez, a researcher at PapersOwl.com, who analyzed the impact of video games on the educational process.
From the reader response theory perspective, it is possible for a video game teach child and engage students to play games and get new skills needed for their sustainable future.
The question is what is the relationship between playing action video games and their influence on intelligence? Do they improve a person's memory and reasoning abilities, or affect them in a negative manner? Since studies interpret video games differently, these issues will continue to be investigated, especially in relation to digital releases intended for educational gaming purposes.
Video games are among the activities that can be both positive and negative, but it is up to you which side you choose.
