Video games force kids/adult to think quickly. In particular, action games encourage players to make fast decisions using evidence gathered throughout the game, according to a study explained on the Daily Tech website. Kids who play video games are given unusual problems to solve, many of which they must solve very quickly. This process improves critical-thinking skills and can teach kids the value of trying several different solutions to a problem, a skill that will benefit them for life. Additionally, children who are able to pay attention to a sequence of events in a video game are more likely to apply this skill to their real lives.
The player learns to manage resources that are limited, and decide the best use of resources, the same way as in real life. Video games are often blamed for poor social skills in children. However, according to Psych Central, the opposite may be true, since video games often allow players from around the world to work together to solve problems or complete tasks. This is especially true in children with autism. Playing video games can teach children with autism or an autism spectrum disorder how to respond to visual and verbal queues, in turn improving their social responses.
