Re: Help a college student, complete a short survey

2) Male or female: female

3) Which country do you live in: USA

4) Do you play video games? no

5) If so which genre do you play the most? (fps, rts, mmorpg etc.) N/A

6) Do you play online? N/A

1 being the lowest, 10 the highest, rank the following:
7) How competitive do you play? N/A

8) How physically engaged are you while playing? N/A

9) How mentally engaged are you while playing (such as critical thinking)? N/A

10) How much does mental stimulation in videogames lead to better mental performance in some situations in real life? I think this varies depending on the situation. In some instances, I have seen people get essentially brainwashed by video games, or so addicted to them that their quality of performance in school has greatly deteriorated. However, in people who play video games in moderation, I have seen improved skills in reflexes, hand-eye coordination, quick decision making, logical reasoning, etc. This is prevalent in the drivers for our robotics drive team. (-:


I hope that helped. Good luck with whatever you're doing!
