Video Games and its Impact on Concentration

Various researches have been conducted over the years pertaining to the effect of television and video games on the concentration and focus of children and some of these studies even suggested that these things help people who have Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD but the most recent study that was conducted by three senior psychologists at the Iowa State University suggests that the short attention span of kids aged between 3 to 12 years is due to the time they spend in front of the television or computer playing video games. The movement on the screen draws the attention of the kids to the screen and hence, normal life becomes dull causing them to lose their focus. The researchers even suggested a possible remedy with regards to helping these kids improve their concentration and this means that they should not be allowed to sit no more than two hours.
