Improve problem-solving and logical thinking skills

Many games require players to think strategically, plan, or solve complex puzzles. This can help develop logical thinking and analytical skills, contributing to increased intelligence.

Increase reflexes and concentration

Some action games require intense concentration, quick reflexes, and rhythmic hand-eye coordination. This can help improve attention and quick information processing.

Develop multitasking and time management skills

Some games have multiple tasks or elements at the same time, helping children practice their ability to manage multiple tasks at once, which can support multitasking skills.

Negative effects of playing too much or playing inappropriate games

If children spend too much time playing games, especially violent or non-educational games, it can have a negative impact on their psychology, reduce their time for studying and outdoor activities, leading to reduced learning efficiency and lower IQ relative to their potential.

In addition, excessive gaming can lead to fatigue, stress, or even sleep disorders, affecting brain development.

Social impacts

Some games with social interaction elements (online games, group games) can help children develop communication and cooperation skills, but can also isolate children if not properly controlled.

In summary: Playing games properly, with control and selection can help improve some cognitive skills, which can have a positive impact on children's IQ and thinking ability. However, if played excessively or played inappropriately, the impact can be the opposite, harming children's intellectual development and health.
