Video games are powerful learning tools, according to research presented at the annual convention of the American Psychological Association in Boston. GamePolitics has the story.
"The single best predictor of [surgeon's] skills is how much they had played video games in the past and how much they played now," said Iowa State University psychologist Douglas Gentile. "Those were better predictors of surgical skills than years of training and number of surgeries performed," Gentile said. "So the first question you might ask your surgeon is how many of these [surgeries] have you done and the second question is, 'Are you a gamer?'"
