Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

For my science fair project, I want to compare the cognitive abilities of people who play video games versus those who do not. I would like to know if there is any way to measure/test those cognitive abilities (reflexes, concentration, ability to perform under pressure, etc.) If so, how would I go about doing that?

Hi,

The SciBuddies project guide has a few ideas for projects based around video gaming. Check this one comparing reaction times of video gamers with non-gamers: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p025.shtml

Since your project will involve human subjects most likely, you should read the information about this: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... ects.shtml

Please repost when you have specific questions about your project.

Best wishes,

Sybee
