Product details

This book addresses the question of whether regular computer gaming—particularly playing Massive Multi-Player Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs), such as World of Warcraft—has a positive effect on cognitive performance in the area of attention control. Attention performance is specifically operationalized through the non-occurrence of inattentional blindness, which can be interpreted as better skills in distributed attention and effortless attention shifting. But is this question not completely misguided? Isn't gaming harmful and detrimental to intelligence, especially for children and adolescents? This has indeed been a widely held view in the scientific community for a long time. However, a generation of researchers has now reached a productive publication age, many of whom played computer games intensively during their childhood and adolescence. As a result, there has been an increase in studies that provide empirical evidence for the positive effects of (long-term) gaming on cognitive performance. This book is part of this new tradition.
