Video game players improve their ability to make fast decisions “not just for the act of gaming，but for unrelated and rather dull tasks，” Bavelier said.

　　Her research suggests the benefit isn't limited to men，who play action games more often.When women play the games，they also improve their ability to understand things they see and hear and then quickly make decisions.

　　To examine the connection between action games and decision making，Bavelier and her team first studied two groups of men，average age 19 to 20.The men in one group reported playing video games five times a week，and the men in the other group did not play.The gamers did as well as the non­gamers on that test，but were faster.

　　Bavelier and her team also studied men and women，average age 26，who said they had not played video games in the past year.This experiment helped show whether gamers are naturally fast decision makers，or whether the action games can improve this ability for anyone.As in the first experiment，the men and women who played action games were faster on the dot and sound tests.

　　Alan Castel said that the study was “thorough and interesting”．What might be more interesting to some gamers is this idea：The men and women in Bavelier's study were paid to play video games—in the name of science.
