InterestModerate interest

EngagementNeutral engagement

ImpactModerate impact

There’s recognition of the article's potential influence on awareness and understanding of gaming’s cognitive effects, but no strong claims of revolutionary impact.

Abstract in brief

Humans generally show limited skill transfer from specific training, which makes developing broad-based learning or rehabilitation methods challenging.
In contrast, training with action video games has been found to promote learning that transfers to different tasks beyond the specific game, making it promising for applications like stroke rehab or skill training in fields like surgery and drone piloting.
Recent research suggests that the main benefit of action video games may not be immediate performance boosts, but rather an improved ability to learn new tasks, which could explain their broad transfer effects.]

لعبة الشطرنج تصنف من ضمن الرياضات لماذا؟! -لأن الدراسات اثبتت أن بذل الإنسان جهد ذهني لا يقل عن بذله للجهد البدني.. وهذا رابط مفيد لأجلكم.. https://t.co/zVOuJV2XQP والتصميم بذل جهد ذهني عالي.. وأيضا له مضاعفات صحيه كثيرة.
