Abstract Synopsis

  • The study investigates the connection between video game expertise, specifically in Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas (MOBAs), and fluid intelligence.
  • In the first research phase, results indicate that players' performance in League of Legends is linked to their measured fluid intelligence in a lab setting.
  • The second part of the study reveals that the age-related performance trends in League of Legends and DOTA II correspond with the patterns observed for fluid intelligence, suggesting that popular video games may serve as useful indicators of cognitive ability across a broader population.
