Research by Shawn Green at the University of Rochester investigated the influence of video games on player decision making and problem solving.
Green's study asked a group of young volunteers, with no prior gaming experience, to learn how to play an action game for 50 hours. The study also asked another group of volunteers of the same age to play a game of strategy. Action games are fast-paced, while strategy games are slow-paced.
In action games, images and events are constantly appearing in the peripheral image area. This stimulates the player to constantly look around, and the brain must quickly translate these new images into action.
