“…The MOT paradigm and dual-task paradigm were used in some studies to suggest that gamers may have advantages in attentional control, but little research has considered the effect of secondary task attributes on player performance and how far it can be generalized (Dale & Green, 2017; Dobrowolski et al, 2015). The dMOT task and simulated street-crossing task provide appropriate solutions to these problems (Alvarez et al, 2005; Nicholls et al, 2019; Wei et al, 2014). In study 1, RTS video gamers showed better attentional control on both the single MOT task and the visual dMOT task.…”

“…The MOT paradigm was adapted from an earlier study (Wei et al, 2014). The area of the stimulus presentation field was in the center of the screen in an 800 × 600-pixel white line box with black background (horizontal visual angle = 85°, vertical visual angle = 66°).…”

“…Researchers developed a dual-MOT (dMOT) task, which combined MOT tasks with visual or auditory secondary tasks (Alvarez et al, 2005; Donohue et al, 2012; Wei et al, 2014) to explore the effects of sensory modalities on attentional control. While tracking targets, participants were required to complete a secondary task in the dMOT task.…”

Objective Do real-time strategy (RTS) video gamers have better attentional control? To examine this issue, we tested experienced versus inexperienced RTS video gamers on multi-object tracking tasks (MOT) and dual-MOT tasks with visual or auditory secondary tasks (dMOT). We employed a street-crossing task with a visual working memory task as a secondary task in a virtual reality (VR) environment to examine any generalized attentional advantage. Background Similar to action video games, RTS video games require players to switch attention between multiple visual objects and views. However, whether the attentional control advantage is limited by sensory modalities or generalizes to real-life tasks remains unclear. Method In study 1, 25 RTS video game players (SVGP) and 25 non-video game players (NVGP) completed the MOT task and two dMOT tasks. In study 2, a different sample with 25 SVGP and 25 NVGP completed a simulated street-crossing task with the visual dual task in a VR environment. Results After controlling the effects of the speed-accuracy trade-off, SVGP showed better performance than NVGP in the MOT task and the visual dMOT task, but SVGP did not perform better in either the auditory dMOT task or the street-crossing task. Conclusion RTS video gamers had better attentional control in visual computer tasks, but not in the auditory tasks and the VR tasks. Attentional control benefits associated with RTS video game experience may be limited by sensory modalities, and may not translate to performance benefits in real-life tasks.

“…In the VDT workspace light environment, players need to stare at the self-luminous display screen for a long time, which is the most significant feature (Gu and Han, 2005). The high intensity and focused engagement of video game training requires a high degree of hand-eye-brain coordination (Li and Wang, 2009) and visual-auditory dual-channel cooperation (Wei et al, 2014). It is difficult to separate a single factor for independent research in isolation and static mode.…”

In recent years, the role of video games in enhancing brain plasticity and learning ability has been verified, and this learning transfer is known as the “learning to learn” effect of video game training. At the same time, against the background of healthy lighting, the influence of non-visual effects of light environment on the human rhythmic system has been gradually confirmed. As a special operation form of Visual Display Terminal (VDT) operation, video game training has a high dependence on VDT equipment and the VDT screen, and the background usually has a huge difference in brightness. Compared with the light environment of ordinary operation space, the light environment of VDT operation space is more complex. This complex light environment's non-visual effects cause human emotions, alertness, fatigue, cognitive ability, and other changes, which may affect the efficiency of the “learning to learn” effect of video game training. This article focuses on the impact of the light environment in the VDT workspace on the “learning to learn” effect of video game training. It first traces the factors that trigger the “learning to learn” effect of video game training, that is, the improvement of people's attention, perception, and cognitive ability. Then, the influencing mechanism and the evaluation method of the VDT workspace space light environment on the human rhythm system are discussed based on the basic theory of photobiological effect. In addition, the VDT display lighting light time pattern, photophysical properties, regulation, and protection mechanism on the human rhythm system are studied to demonstrate the VDT workspace light environment's special characteristics. Finally, combined with the progress of artificial lighting technology and the research results of health lighting, given the “learning to learn” effect of video game training, some thoughts on the design of the light environment of the workplace and future research directions are presented.
