Conventional wisdom: sometimes it\u2019s good stuff and sometimes it falls a bit short. For centuries, popular opinion had it that the Earth was at the center of the solar system. That one fell a bit short. On the other hand, conventional wisdom dictates that a diet rich in vegetables and low in fat will promote better health. That one seems to hold water. But when the first generation of video games came out, so too was born the perception that they are bad news for the brain, promote laziness, and dull the senses. Conventional wisdom completely missed the boat on that one, and we\u2019re here not only to clear the good name of video games, but also to extol their virtues.<\/p>\n

For years, video games were the scourge of parents and teachers everywhere. They didn\u2019t\u00a0appear<\/em>\u00a0to improve players\u2019 lives in any productive way\u2014so the thinking went\u2014like getting some exercise, drinking plenty of water, or reading anything from the\u00a0100 Best Novels of All Time<\/a>\u00a0list. There is a formula for succeeding in school\u2014so this thinking went\u2014that consists of doing homework (well), studying for tests (and scoring well), and participating in extracurricular activities (at least somewhat well). If students neglect any of the above in favor of a few hours with a game console, then this current (yet wrong) thinking decrees that students are hurting their chances of doing well in school\u2014and that means\u00a0in life<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But little do people know that when kids and teens (even grownups) play video games, they\u2019re actually helping themselves to develop parts of their brains that give them an edge to do well in school\u2014and<\/em>\u00a0in life<\/em>. It just took a trickle of research to convince a growing number of experts that video games are in fact good for students\u2019 brains. Perhaps a steady stream of it will convince everyone else!<\/p>\n

This is what we know now, thanks to neuroscientists, psychologists and others who have contributed to this growing body of research: video games help us develop our spatial reasoning, which is the ability to mentally move around shapes, visualize their patterns, and keenly understand a world in 3D. We all utilize this ability, perhaps more than we realize. We use it for mundane tasks such as organizing boxes in a moving van, packing a suitcase, or mapping out a route for a road trip. But we also use it for more complex ones, such as rendering the design plans for buildings, bridges, or airplanes. Of course, some people have more developed spatial reasoning than others. However, just like we can learn to improve our bowling game, to increase our foreign language skills, or to finally beat our toughest competitor in Words with Friends, it\u2019s something at which we can all get better at with time and practice.<\/p>\n

In our last\u00a0post<\/a>, we talked about the importance of why spatial reasoning hasn\u2019t been given the same formal education attention as other subjects (think math and verbal skills) for a variety of reasons. (Some of those are more like theories, but convincing nonetheless.) Until the time that it is given more attention in school and made a higher priority, video games offer a very direct (and fun) way to hone one\u2019s spatial reasoning ability.<\/p>\n

Before you go with the conventional thinking that video games are the sole purview of dudes, we\u2019d like to point out that\u00a045% of gamers are female<\/a>\u00a0(booya!). That\u2019s why we agree with Annie Murphy Paul\u2019s assertion in her article that \u201cGirls Should Play More Video Games<\/a>.\u201d Here\u2019s why it\u2019s a really good idea to encourage younger girls to pick up gaming: highly technical fields like computer science and engineering (and many more) have a dearth of women. This means that somewhere somewhere along the way in school, girls are jumping off the \u201cSTEM\u201d (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) bandwagon. But this isn\u2019t because girls have less spatial reasoning ability than boys, as some have long speculated.<\/p>\n

New research<\/a>, conducted by David Reilly and David Neumann of Griffith University in Australia, confirms what Psychologist Sharon Nash argued 30 years ago: \u201cGender-role identity can either promote or inhibit optimum development of cognitive ability in highly gender-typed domains, such as spatial and verbal ability. [\u2026] masculine identification leads to cultivation of spatial, mathematical, and scientific skills, whereas feminine identification facilitates verbal and language abilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Annie Murphy Paul, in her aforementioned\u00a0article<\/a>, references another\u00a0recent study<\/a>\u00a0from the University of Toronto that found that people who play an action-based video game \u201c\u2019can virtually eliminate\u2019 the gender difference in a basic capacity they call spatial attention, while at the same time reducing the gender difference in the ability to mentally rotate objects, a higher-level spatial skill.\u201d She concludes the following: \u201cA meta-analysis\u00a0of 217 research studies, published in Psychological Science last year, concluded that \u2018spatial skills are malleable, durable and transferable,\u2019 [and] can be improved by training; these improvements persist over time; and they \u2018transfer\u2019 to tasks that are different from the tasks used in the training.\u201d This is, obviously, good news. Especially since Paul mentions that a mere 20-minute spatial training session can make a difference in the ability to solve math problems.<\/p>\n

In these modern times, young ladies are not exactly dissuaded from gaming, but it also may not be an activity toward which they naturally gravitate. If they learn of the benefits to be had\u2014and their parents and teachers know it, too\u2014then they just might be persuaded to give it a try. And they just might get hooked. This is a good thing. Until schools jump on board to allot time for students to develop their spatial skills (we know video games are only one way to do so), it will have to be something they cultivate on their own time. And as more research pours in, it\u2019s only a matter of time before an evening parent-child discussion might start out something like this: \u201cDid you play your video games today?\u201d<\/p>\n

What will be the conventional wisdom then?<\/p>\n
