Is Mr. S more flexible than Sci? Cognitive flexibility and first-person shooter games.

This post comes to you courtesy, actually, of Sci-Dad, who sent an email to Sci saying wasn’t this cool. Sci then showed it to Mr. SiT, and he was very intrigued, and insisted she cover it. Sci kind of wanted to make cake balls. Maybe that will be tomorrow.

OM NOM NOM
Anyway.
Colzato et al. “DOOM’d to switch: superior cognitive flexibility in players of first person shooter games” Frontiers in Psychology, 2010.

(First, a brief tribute to Mr. SiT’s current favorite FPS “Battlefield: Bad Company 2″. Ever wonder how he passes the lonely hours while Sci is slaving away for your benefit? Now you know.)
Disclaimer: Sci doesn’t play video games. Neither is she a cognitive psychologist. Any errors in this post related to gaming may be firmly blamed on Mr. SiT, who read this thing first, and any errors in cognitive psychology can be firmly placed on Sci’s limited experience.)
