Be A Better Driver By Playing Free Car Games

Don't feel bad if you spend hours upon hours playing your favorite free car games in the hopes of finally getting that trophy you've been working so hard for. Gamers who play racing and action games have better visuomotor abilities than non-gamers, according to a study published in Psychological Science. In case you're wondering, "visuomotor" refers to the brain's "coordination of movement and visual perception," according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary.

  1. Boost Your Capacity By Playing Video Games According to a new study from the University of Rochester, not only are video games excellent for your brain, but playing action video games boosts your capacity to make the right decision and do so faster. However, action gaming provides more than just rapidity. The fast-paced group had the same level of accuracy as the slow-paced group. In other words, action gamers were better able to assess the information offered and make the best decision more quickly—skills that are critical for safe driving on the highway.

  2. It All Comes Down To Your VisuomotorControl Don't feel bad if you spend hours upon hours playing your favorite free car games in the hopes of finally getting that trophy you've been working so hard for. Gamers who play racing and action games have better visuomotor abilities than non-gamers, according to a study published in Psychological Science. In case you're wondering, "visuomotor" refers to the brain's "coordination of movement and visual perception," according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary. "My findings show that playing readily available action video games for as little as 5 hours can be a cost-effective technique for helping people improve essential visuomotor-control abilities required in driving," said Li, a researcher at New York University Shanghai. The university's study involved gamers play free online games Mario Kart or Roller Coaster Tycoon for five to ten hours each week for six weeks in order to test them on a driving simulator and see if there were any differences in how they fared.

  3. Reality Vs. Gaming Just make sure to purchase a force-feeding gaming steering wheel and pedal set to make the experience as realistic as possible. And, while most racing games on the market are fairly realistic, when you go to the grocery store for more Mountain Dew after you've played for 10 hours, try not to do anything insane with your Honda Civic in real life. They are, after all, just games, not real life.
