Do you wonder if video games have scientific benefits? We have you covered. Video games help with emotional stability, helps you be a better multi-tasker, helps visual-motor coordination, helps with social skills, helps with vision and even aging. Side note: Sorry, we missed point 2 in the video. :'( But it's essentially this: "2: Gamers Are Better At Multi-Tasking Multi-Tasking is something we all attempt to do throughout the day… With varying degrees of success. But what if video games could help? A 2013 study tested two groups of people, and found that those who played video games over the span of ten weeks were better at multi-tasking than those who didn’t. Even better - gamers were able to focus on secondary tasks without interfering with primary tasks. So why are gamers better at multi-tasking? Think about it. If you’re playing a first person shooter, you have to track objects, keep an eye on your ammo, and focus on the mission - all at once." #videogames #psych2go Sources and transcript included in this doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KGopDh10Y0sWG1EeEc7md4bi8P7dgjTGroeMquQv9Ns/edit?usp=sharing Team Members: Script Writer: Elliot Figueira Script Editor: Steven Wu VO: Lily Hu Animator: Maxine Gando YouTube Manager: Cindy Cheong Founder: Tai Khuong Need sources to prove to your parents?
