Abstract (type = abstract)
With the surge in popularity of video games, many studies are examining how video games affect visual processing abilities. This study seeks to examine how video game players (VGPs) differ from non-video game players (NVGPs) on visual search tasks. This study predicts, based on previous findings, that VGPs will be faster and more accurate than NVGP on a battery of computerized visual search tasks. The computer-based tasks include a conjunction task involving simple shapes, a category search task involving images of real objects and a category search task involving images of scenes. This study found no significant differences between VGPs and NVGPs. Therefore, these results do not support previous claims that long-term experience with video games leads to superior visual and attentional performance.
