The US government has been using games as training tools for decades, but new research suggests interactive entertainment is good for more than just getting pilots familiar with the inside of a cockpit. The Department of Defense is touting recent Navy research that suggests playing games can help adults improve their problem-solving and information-processing abilities.
SOCOM won't prepare you to be a real Navy SEAL, but that doesn't mean it's entirely without benefit. The Office of Naval Research has reportedly found gamers scoring 10 to 20 percent better than their nongaming counterparts in perceptual and cognitive ability tests. Researchers also found that games can help people focus longer, boost their short-term memories, and increase their perceptual abilities.
The navy hopes to take advantage of that finding with new training technologies aimed at developing adaptability in battlefield situations. Researchers are already considering implementing them in everything from PDAs to large-scale simulators of virtual environments.
