Um trabalho muito interessante de B. D. Glass e associados, chamado de Real-Time Strategy Game Training: Emergence of a Cognitive Flexibility Trait (Treino usando jogo de estratégia em tempo real). Glass é um gamer assumido e sua tese de Doutorado defendida na Universidade do Texas (Austin) tinha um título bem interessante - Becoming a Gamer: Cognitive Effects of Real-Time Strategy Gaming (Se tornando um Gamer: Efeitos Cognitivos dos jogos de estratégia em tempo real). Hoje é um dia perfeito para jogarmos StarCraft, vamos? __ Real-Time Strategy Game Training: Emergence of a Cognitive Flexibility Trait Brian D. Glass, W. Todd Maddox, Bradley C. Love __ ABSTRACT / RESUMO Training in action video games can increase the speed of perceptual processing. However, it is unknown whether video-game training can lead to broad-based changes in higher-level competencies such as cognitive flexibility, a core and neurally distributed component of cognition. To determine whether video gaming can enhance cognitive flexibility and, if so, why these changes occur, the current study compares two versions of a real-time strategy (RTS) game. Using a meta-analytic Bayes factor approach, we found that the gaming condition that emphasized maintenance and rapid switching between multiple information and action sources led to a large increase in cognitive flexibility as measured by a wide array of non-video gaming tasks. Theoretically, the results suggest that the distributed brain networks supporting cognitive flexibility can be tuned by engrossing video game experience that stresses maintenance and rapid manipulation of multiple information sources. Practically, these results suggest avenues for increasing cognitive function. __ plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0070350 __ ;-)
