Many people assume that video games have a detrimental effect on young people. A lot of time
in front of a screen is bad for the mind and the body, they believe. Newspaper headlines often express the
same opinion - and combat games cause the most concern because of the violence. But is there any
evidence for this view? According to a report in American Psychologists, the truth is not so simple.
Playing video games is sometimes good for children's education, health, and social skills.
Research shows that video games can improve certain mental skills. This is especially true for
combat games. These games teach players to think about objects in three dimensions and this makes them
better at studying science, technology, engineering, and maths. Other types of video games do not usually
provide these benefits.

research into the effect the role-playing games (RPGs) on children. The research showed that when
children spend a lot of time playing RPGs, they get better grades at school than children who do not play
them. Other research showed that playing any kind of video game, including violent games, improves
children’s creativity. But using a computer or smartphone for emails or other tasks does not provide this
