Playing action video games significantly alters eye movements and improves oculomotor control. Habitual action video game players (VGPs) show distinct saccadic trajectory deviations compared to non-video game players (NVGPs).

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Motor Control

Background:

  • Action video games are known to influence visual and cognitive functions.
  • Limited research exists on the impact of video games on motor actions, specifically oculomotor control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between action video game experience and oculomotor action.
  • To compare the saccadic trajectory deviations in habitual action video game players (VGPs) and non-video game players (NVGPs).

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a saccadic trajectory deviation task.
  • Compared performance between experienced VGPs and NVGPs.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences in the spatial curvature of saccadic trajectories were observed between VGPs and NVGPs.

  • Task performance accuracy improved over time exclusively in VGPs.

    • Conclusions:

    • Action video game play can lead to measurable changes in oculomotor execution.
    • Findings suggest that video game experience may modulate the balance between stimulus-driven and top-down control in motor programming.
