The Effectiveness of Games and Play on a Developing Child's Brain
Posted by Unknown
More details on this subject can be researched here.
The interesting effect of games on a child brain differs from when violent games are played to when nonviolent games are played. Violent games often stimulate the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, which often assists in planning and control. The more used to violence the player is, the less this part of the brain is stimulated. This, however, does not always desensitize the player to actual violence, and is not a leading cause in developing serial killers. Whether or not games help develop the player's brain or not is still up to debate.
