They found out that those who enjoyed the game had better performances in tests of necessary perceptual and cognitive abilities than those who didn’t.
You can, therefore, be sure that the results of this research are reliable. In the rest of our article, we are going to give you some information that you might want to know about.

1. Playing online games helps to improve basic visual processes
The first thing we can receive from playing an online game is that our visual contrast sensitivity can be improved. A research study conducted in 2009 showed that fifty hours of playing action games for ten or twelve weeks could enhance our ability to distinguish the differences in shades of gray.
Secondly, we can also treat amblyopia by playing games. It’s also called “lazy eye,” which is a disorder of sight caused by a weak connection between the brain and eyes. In a research study by Li and colleagues in 2011, they let people use their bad eye only to play action games, while others used their bad eye to do other things such as watching TV, and the result indicated that those who joined in gaming showed significant improvement while others didn’t. Many participants who were involved in gaming improved their vision and their ability to coordinate input from both eyes, and their “lazy eye” was almost gone.

2. Enhance attention and vigilance
Playing online games also makes people have better special attention. A study carried out by Green & Bavelier in 2012 suggested that online gaming improved the ability to locate things quickly and on-target in distracting situations, and it’s perfect for driving skills.
Moreover, with action games, we can develop our ability to keep track of moving objects while there are lots of distractions. That’s because in action games when we have to accomplish any mission, we need to stay focused all the time on some specific objects while there are lots of things that try to distract us.
