TRUE. Numerous studies have sought to show that video games have negative effects: following a more or less long playing period, players have a tendency to much less control their emotions or even their aggressiveness. In other words, it has been proven that certain video games could be linked to the violent outbursts of players. However, a researcher from the University of Illinois, Daphné Bavelier, compared two groups, a player group and another non-player. The players were more attentive, knew how to take into account more elements at the same time and to spot more objects in a large visual field. They finally knew more quickly from one action to another. Non-gamers, once seated in front of video games, began to develop better visual attention. The experiments that followed showed that video games developed the faculties of learning, memory, reasoning and that they also allowed children to evacuate their aggressiveness and regain their self-confidence. Note that without dialogue and without surveillance, the risk of locking oneself up in the video game increases.
