Games help to be multitasking

A study conducted in the U.S. shows that people who play first person shooter titles can perform multiple tasks easier than those who do not play.

The study divided a group of young students into two groups: a control group, who did the tests Multi-Attribute Task Battery twice, without having ever played, and a second group who took the test before playing and repeated after ten weeks playing PS3.
The group of students who had been playing  had better results than the control group. "Playing such games enhances the ability to distribute visual attention in space and pay attention to details," said the authors of a study conducted at the University of California.
