How does playing video games speed up your reaction time? I have tested that it does, but I'm looking for an easy way to state how it actually works! The science words! Please help. Thank you.

Re: Video games and reaction time
Hi, this is a very interesting project! You could say that playing video games trains an individual to reduce reaction times. You may want to specify the type of video games played by the participants. Also here's a study that showed that playing action video games reduced reaction time: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2871325/
I hope this helps!
