Learning, Attentional Control, and Action Video Games
While humans have an incredible capacity to acquire new skills and alter their behavior as a result of experience, enhancements in performance are typically narrowly restricted to the parameters of the training environment, with little evidence of generalization to different, even seemingly highly related, tasks. Such specificity is a major obstacle for the development of many real-world traini...
متن کاملAction video games and improved attentional control: Disentangling selection- and response-based processes.
Research has demonstrated that experience with action video games is associated with improvements in a host of cognitive tasks. Evidence from paradigms that assess aspects of attention has suggested that action video game players (AVGPs) possess greater control over the allocation of attentional resources than do non-video-game players (NVGPs). Using a compound search task that teased apart sel...
متن کاملEnhancing perceptual and attentional skills requires common demands between the action video games and transfer tasks
Despite increasing evidence that shows action video game play improves perceptual and cognitive skills, the mechanisms of transfer are not well-understood. In line with previous work, we suggest that transfer is dependent upon common demands between the game and transfer task. In the current study, participants played one of four action games with varying speed, visual, and attentional demands ...
متن کاملAction Video-Game Training and Its Effects on Perception and Attentional Control
Over the past 40 years, video game play has grown from a niche activity into a pervasive and abundant part of modern life. Over half of the United States population now plays video games, with over 130 million of these individuals being considered “regular” video game players (i.e., playing more than 3 h of video games per week—ESA 2015 ). And although video games were originally, and for the m...
متن کاملLearning policies for attentional control
In this work we propose two behavioraly active policies for attentional control. These policies must act based on a multi-modal sensory feedback. Two approaches are used to derive the policies: the first one follows a simple straightforward strategy and the second one uses Q-learning to learn a policy based on the perceptual state of the system. As practical result of both algorithms, a robotic...
