Abstract
Significant dynamic distinctions were observed in cortical networks when comparing action-like video games to life simulation games.
- Engagement with action-like video games (first-person shooter and action real-time strategy) resulted in unique patterns of brain activity compared to life simulation games.
- Action real-time strategy games elicited a greater increase in attentional control-related brain activity than first-person shooter games.
- First-person shooter games were associated with higher levels of sensorimotor-related brain activity when accounting for gaming experience.
- Distinct gaming genres may influence the development of various cognitive processes through their effects on brain network dynamics.
