Action video game play facilitates “learning to learn”
Zhang et al. present evidence that action video games facilitate learning to learn, the logic being that the rate of learning in new tasks can be increased via certain activities. Compared to a control group, action video game players exhibit a faster learning rate in both perceptual and working mem...
