\u0022Activities which may impact attentional processes, such as video games, may also have an impact on reading as well,” said Shaylyn Kress.
A study done by Kress has produced data that shows the activity may contribute to improving the peripheral attention skills that are essential for reading ability.
To determine how this wildly popular Canadian pastime affects reading skills, Kress’ research team analyzed what types of video games were most popular, and assessed each one to determine the average number of objects players had to react to that were placed peripherally — to the side, top or bottom of the screen — versus in the middle.
“We observed that individuals with more exposure to peripherally-presented visual demands in video games — for example, a text notification or enemy appearing on the side of your screen rather than the centre of the screen — tended to have faster reading reaction times than individuals with less or no exposure to peripherally-presented visual demands,” said Kress.Supplied photo
“Attention is an important part of successful reading. Your eyes need to scan across a page in a systematic manner to correctly process each word and sentence, for example. Therefore, activities which may impact attentional processes, such as video games, may also have an impact on reading as well,” said Kress.
“Finally, society in general benefits from this research by gaining a better understanding of what impacts their hobbies might have on their brain.”
