Abstract
Action video game players demonstrate enhanced performance
on perceptual tasks, but the underlying mechanisms of their benefits remain unclear. We examined gamers and non-gamers using a modified change-detection flicker paradigm in which image pairs were presented in individuated cycles (original image, blank screen, changed image).
Participants were given up to 15 cycles to find the change, and localization responses were collected each cycle. Gamers found the changes more quickly and accurately than non-gamers. Analysis of search patterns revealed strategy differences (e.g., gamers tended to be broader searchers) that may reveal the causal mechanisms of their benefits.
