Playing video games for children should be restrained. Or maybe not? According to Italian researchers can dyslexic children still a lot of lighting up a fast action game. They go there even better by reading. The faster the game the better!
Fast action games can cause seizures. The makers of video games warn for this standard on the instructions for their often fast-paced games. But playing a game can also have positive side effects. That surgeons at their operations benefit from a good dose of video game experience was already known. But there appears to be another good reason to sit at the console.
Neuroscientists from the University of Padua conclude from research that playing fast action games in children with dyslexia results they better go read. According to these researchers a full ten per cent of the children has difficulty reading. Their reading skills dramatically improves if they just 12 hours action games. This improvement would be a year later still measurable. The effect would be similar to the traditional dyslexia training that more time and energy costs, reports de Volkskrant.
When research scientists have put together two groups of children of 10 years who have difficulty reading. One group played nine days action games on the Wii video game console, the other played games with little action. The nine game sessions lasted 80 minutes. The fast action game that was used is the crazy rabbits game Rayman Raving Rabbids by Ubisoft. Only the action game would lead to better reading skills. The researchers think that children can learn better focus by playing the action games.
Before everyone his children to the Wii puts: for this is still continued research is needed. It could be a fluke. This says Fred Hadad, an expert of the Radboud University against the Volkskrant. In addition, lacking the scientific consensus on the cause of dyslexia. It is not known whether it is a Visual disorder, a language problem or that there is a physical cause.
