BBC has written another article detailing the benefits and positive effects on video games. The report has tests done on people in the workplace, and how video games seemed to raise personal productivity. However, before you start blasting away a couple of terrorists during your job shift, the stated tests are at an early stage and involve rather simple video games.
"We told them from now on for the next month you are allowed to play games for up to one hour a day, and you can choose when you want to play," Professor Goldstein told BBC News Online.It should be noted that the article hints towards another possible test that may well be "intending to do a much larger-scale study, using more complicated games which involve strategy decisions or role playing." Thus, if you're somewhat interested on this matter, you should give the article a read.
The results were measured against how they felt about the work they do and their job.
"The groups that played games showed improvement on both of these measures," says Professor Goldstein.
