Video games can improve cognitive skills, such as memory and problem-solving. Many studies have shown that playing video games can help enhance cognitive functions. For instance, action games like Call of Duty require players to think quickly, process visual information, and make fast decisions, which can improve reaction time. Puzzle games, such as Tetris, require players to remember shapes and patterns, thus enhancing memory. As players practice these skills, they can transfer them to real-life situations, such as solving problems more efficiently.

b) Video games can improve cognitive skills.
c) Video games are only useful for entertainment purposes.
While some people believe video games isolate players, multiplayer games actually promote socialization. Games like Fortnite or Minecraft bring together people from all over the world to cooperate, strategize, and communicate in real-time. These games require teamwork, allowing players to bond over shared goals and develop strong online relationships. For many, online gaming has become a space to form friendships, join communities, and collaborate.

Video games can be beneficial for mental health when used in moderation. Video games have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety for some people. Games like Animal Crossing offer a relaxing environment where players can unwind by engaging in low-stakes activities, such as fishing or farming. Research has also found that immersive games can distract players from anxiety-inducing thoughts, helping them manage their emotions. As long as they are not played excessively, video games can serve as a therapeutic tool for relaxation.

b) Video games should never be used as a form of relaxation.
c) Playing video games excessively is beneficial for mental health.
Despite popular belief, numerous studies have failed to prove a direct connection between violent video games and aggressive behavior. Research from the American Psychological Association suggests that while violent games might increase short-term aggression, they do not lead to long-term violence. Other factors, such as family dynamics, mental health, and social environment, play a much more significant role in shaping behavior. Therefore, blaming video games for violence is an oversimplification of a complex issue.

LEVEL 4/5

When used appropriately, video games can be an effective educational tool that enhances both motivation and academic performance.
