The view that better perceptual skills can open the door to greater cognitive fitness calls for identifying interventions that enhance perception. We review here the impact of action video game play on perception. Cross-sectional studies indicate that action video game players outperform non-players by about ¾ of a standard deviation across all perceptual skills. More specifically, tasks relying on the dorsal system and peripheral vision appear most enhanced in action video game players. Despite their crucial role for establishing a causal role of action video game play on perception, the paucity of intervention studies limits interpretation. Yet, the existing dose-response curve already calls for at least 20 hours of play for significant effects to emerge. When considering the mechanisms at play, we propose that attentional control may mediate the noted perceptual benefits by increasing the quality of the perceptual information gathered, facilitating in turn the development of better perceptual templates.
认为更好的感知技能可以为更高的认知能力打开大门，这就需要确定能够增强感知的干预措施。我们在这里回顾了动作视频游戏对感知的影响。横断面研究表明，动作视频游戏玩家在所有感知技能上的表现都比非玩家高出约三分之二标准差。更具体地说，依赖于背侧系统和周边视觉的任务在动作视频游戏玩家中表现出最强的增强。尽管它们对于确定动作视频游戏对感知的因果作用至关重要，但干预研究的缺乏限制了其解释。然而，现有的剂量-反应曲线已经表明，至少需要 20 小时的游戏时间才能产生显著效果。当考虑到起作用的机制时，我们提出注意力控制可以通过提高感知信息的质量来介导所注意到的感知益处，从而促进更好的感知模板的发展。
