Video Games Tend to Improve Your Memory
Think about how many times you were playing a video game and you just happened to remember where you saw a particular item, how you fought a particular boss, which path you took three weeks ago, what combo works best against different enemies and all the other important tidbits of information we hold on to when gaming. Most gamers can easily switch from one video game to the next and still remember the controls for another game, where they were in the mission, and what they need to do next.
Well, it turns out that there might be a reason for that. Multiple studies revealed that video games tend to improve a person’s memory. IFLscience breaks down the studies saying, “Research funded by the U.K.’s Medical Research Council has revealed that basic computer game training sessions are able to ‘rewire’ the brains of children, improving their neural connectivity and memory over a short period of time.”
