Playing League of Legends can improve brain function, study finds
A study by the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China found that playing League of Legends improved brain function in university students, with effects persisting 10 weeks after gameplay stopped. The study compared League of Legends to Legends of the Three Kingdoms, with League of Legends showing significantly more improvement.
Researchers from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China conducted a study on 68 university students with little gaming experience. The students were divided into two groups, one playing League of Legends and the other playing Legends of the Three Kingdoms for one hour a day, five days a week, for 30 weeks. The study found that both games improved brain function, but League of Legends showed significantly more improvement. The fast-paced and real-time elements of League of Legends were found to contribute to more efficient brain networks. The cognitive improvements persisted even 10 weeks after the participants stopped playing. League of Legends improved multitasking and attention performance noticeably, likely due to its gameplay style.
