Hours spent playing action video games may not be as mindless as many parents think. Whether it's Spiderman or Grand Theft Auto 3 or others,  the fast-moving action of the games seems to improve a range of visual skills. 
　　
　　(孩子們)花在電子動(dòng)作游戲上的大量時(shí)間也許并不像許多家長所想的那樣全無意義，諸如《蜘蛛俠》、《俠盜車手3》之類的游戲中快速變換的場(chǎng)景似乎有助于改善一系列的視覺技能。 
　　
　　"Although video-game playing may seem to be rather mindless, it is capable of radically altering visual processing," Daphne Bavelier, of the University of  Rochester  in New York, said in a letter to the science journal Nature. 
　　
　　紐約羅徹斯特大學(xué)的達(dá)芙妮貝弗利爾在致科學(xué)雜志《自然》的信中說：“看起來，玩電子游戲是件乏善可陳的事情，但它卻能從根本上改善視像處理能力�！�  　       In four experiments Bavelier and her colleague discovered that people who played video games several times a week for six months could monitor  complex visual  information more easily than non-game players. But when the researchers gave novices 10 hours of training on the game Medal of Honor, they improved their visual processing skills. 

　　貝弗利爾和同事做了4次實(shí)驗(yàn)，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)：與不玩游戲的人相比，那些在半年里每周玩幾次電子游戲的人能更輕松地處理復(fù)雜的視覺信息。不過，在研究者們用《榮譽(yù)勛章》游戲?qū)π率謧冞M(jìn)行了10小時(shí)的培訓(xùn)之后，后者的視像處理能力也有所改進(jìn)。  　　       "By forcing players to simultaneously juggle a number of varied tasks (detect new enemies, track existing enemies and avoid getting hurt, among    others) action-video-game playing pushes the limits of three rather different aspects of visual attention," Bavelier said. 

　　貝弗利爾說：“電子動(dòng)作游戲迫使玩家同時(shí)應(yīng)付一系列不同的任務(wù)(發(fā)現(xiàn)新的敵人、跟蹤現(xiàn)有敵人、避免受傷等等)，視覺注意力中3個(gè)彼此迥異的方面由此得到了提高�！�
