    • Is gaming more beneficial or harmful?

    Gaming is a common source of entertainment and a hobby for people of all ages from all around the world. However, there have been some negative connotation attached to the idea of gaming and significant research has been carried out to better understand the impact of gaming on both children and adults. Luckily for gamers, results have been divisive. There are many upsides to gaming, but an addiction to the habit could negatively impact your health. We take a look at the common effects of gaming: 

    How does

    When engaged in a game, a player will need to coordinate their visual, audial and physical movement at the same time. For example: an action game may require you to be able to move your joystick or keys while looking at the various features on your screen such as energy levels, oncoming adversaries, remaining ammunitions, available time as well as other factors. These are all vital to winning.

    1. Improves coordination & multitasking skills

    When engaged in a game, a player will need to coordinate their visual, audial and physical movement at the same time. For example: an action game may require you to be able to move your joystick or keys while looking at the various features 

    2. Improves concentration & problem-solving skills

    Good video games can retain the player�s attention for a long time, harnessing their full concentration on achieving certain objectives set out by the game. Players� creative cognitive abilities are tested as they try to figure out different ways to solve the problems set out in order to advance to the next level. 

    3. Enhances brain speed & memory

    Playing video games help enhance visual and audial memory. The player is required to read or listen to the instructions which might only be provided at the beginning of the game, thus the need to remember them throughout the entire game. Mastery of the keys on your keyboard is also proof of motion memory. Individuals who play video games frequently can process these stimuli faster than others.

    4. It is a great source of learning

    In recent years, many modern education institutions incorporate video games as part of their teaching methodology. Most of these games enhance cognitive and creative skills as well as learning through a fun and entertaining format.

    5. Improves team player skills

    Co-player as well as multi-player online games enable players to work together to achieve a common goal. With a shared objective, the game encourages players to forge a strong team through good communication skills. These often result in players developing meaningful relationships with each other beyond the screen.

    What are the harmful effects of

      What are the symptoms of Gaming

      How can you tell when your gaming habit has become too much? You could ask yourself the CAGE Questions (frequently used to detect alcohol addiction) with a few modifications (such as replacing the word "drinking" with "gaming" and altering the fourth or "E" question):

      Accident Pro Prime

      Ultimately, video gaming can be a good or a bad thing, depending on your gaming habits. Moderation is key. Don't let gaming replace human interactions or let you lose track of reality. Keep track of your mood, why you are gaming and how it may be affecting you, and reap the benefits of gaming by ensuring that you are the one holding the controller instead of letting the game control you.
