Description

This study aims to determine describe the perceived relationship between video games and intelligence among the selected individuals. The study makes use of the video game “BRAIN AGE” as one of the tools of the research. Responses of the informants showed that video games can slightly contribute to mental development and a new theory was developed the “Dublin game attention theory” where as a person grows older his time to attention span for playing video games becomes more shorter but does not necessarily reflect a loss of interest in the gaming hobby.
