In the a new
study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,
Bavelier and her team first used a pattern discrimination task to compare
action video game players’ visual performance with that of individuals who do
not play action video games.
The action-gamers outperformed the non-action gamers. The
key to the action-gamers success, the researchers found, was that their brains
used a better template for the task at hand.
