BBC Research Shows Computer Games Do not Advance Our Thinking!

It always fascinates me how much of this research is restricted to the ability to think better logically. Rarely does it cover the impact on our self-esteem or sense of self-efficacy. I have not the slightest doubt that while learning new complex computer games does not aid our our overall thinking ability, it has a dramatic effect on the way we think and feel about oursleves.

Doubts we we could have nursed about our ability to master  computing skills could be banished and could leave us much more willing to try new tasks with the belief we can master them too.

Another feature of computer games rarely referred to is the need for sustained concentration. One of my grandsons has had reports of limited concentration at school. Yet put him in front of a computer game and he demonstrates powers of concentration second to none!

We can learn to live happier and more effective lives based on how we think about ourselves
