START STRATEGY GAME MAXXING (HIGH IQ) (500 POST SPECIAL)

STRATEGY GAMES PRODUCE MASSIVE GAINS IN COGNITIVE FLEXIBILITY

In 2013, researchers at the University of Texas trained 72 people with no gaming background for 40 hours, splitting them between StarCraft (well known real time strategy game) and The Sims 2. Why the comparison is significant: the control group (Sims 2) played a game too, so any difference can't be written off as the novelty of being handed a new hobby. The StarCraft group came out ahead on cognitive flexibility, and the authors were specific about which aspect of the game triggered this gain: the condition "that emphasized maintenance and rapid switching between multiple information and action sources led to a large increase in cognitive flexibility." Their conclusion was that forty hours "within an RTS game that stresses rapid and simultaneous maintenance, assessment, and coordination between multiple information and action sources was sufficient to affect change."


IT MIGHT MAKE YOU LESS OF AN IQLET (PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS)

A four-year study followed 1,492 Canadian adolescents across high school, measuring how much strategy gaming they did against their problem solving and grades: "The results showed that more strategic video game play predicted higher self-reported problem solving skills over time than less strategic video game play. In addition, the results showed support for an indirect association between strategic video game play and academic grades, in that strategic video game play predicted higher self-reported problem solving skills, and, in turn, higher self-reported problem solving skills predicted higher academic grades".


BUT MUH IM NOT A NERD I LIKE CALL OF DUTY MORE!

Strategy games hook into something basic: the urge to build a thing from nothing and watch it outgrow what you started with. Those who have played them know how easily they take over, and it is simple to understand why — the payoff from a goal you spent hours working toward lands differently, because what you feel is pride in how far you have come.
