I found this article reading the BBC web page, it talks about gamers being better decision makers .  I thought to share it with my fellow gamers enjoy.

I've huge problems with decisions eversince. So I cant count me in that. When ever there is something bigger than "Will I drink Apple or Orange juice?" I have to think about it a few times. I often annoy friends with questions about what I should do. Most likely it all ends up with me throwing a coin. But yeah reactions become faster with gaming.

I doubt this will be as prominent, or at least as prominent in another manner for those of us who are gamers but don't play twitching reflexive games.

I would guess that it will be about as prominent, just because it's not a twitch shooter, fighter, ****craft clone, ect. does not mean that you don't have to make rapid decisions, one could hardly call Men of War a twitchy game, but you often have to make decisions far more rapidly than you would in real life. The balence of contemplation to rapid decisions would probably be different if you're playing such a game, I would be interested to see the difference between (because RTS's are my favored genre) a primarily ****craft gamer, a primarily Civilization gamer, and someone in between, like a Men of War gamer.
 
I dunno about reaction times but I've definetly gotten better in economy class thanks to gaming.
 
Gaming is also the easiest reflection of society. People may preach morality but if you place those people in a social environment in which they feel comfortable with, they will no longer think about the moral issues with what they say. They will become every single social construct that is part of their countries culture.

True. As soon as you're within a gaming environnement, a "game" it's ok to do the worse **** to people for advantages. I remember when i played Runescape (5 or 6 years ago...) there were so many people who would go scamming and ****, and even nice people (i knew some people who would occasionaly scam "for fun"), when scamming consisted of stealing big quantities of money to noobs or people who weren't smart enough to figure it out. I can't think of anymore examples, but people will go backstabbing if they know they're not gonna get blamed for it. It's just a game afterall.
