1、研究说明：视频游戏提高视力|帮他提高视力最囧游戏贾庆文 选译 1Video game players may get an unexpected benefit from blowing away bad guysbetter vision. Playing “action video games improves a visual ability crucial for tasks like reading and driving at night, a new study says. 2The ability, called contrast sensitivity function, a
2、llows people to discern even subtle changes in shades of gray against a uniformly colored backdrop. Its also one of the first visual aptitudes to fade with age. 3Thats why a regular regimen of action video game training can provide long-lasting visual power, according to work led by Daphne Bavelier
3、of the University of Rochester. 4Previous research shows that gaming improves other visual skills, such as the ability to track several objects at the same time and paying attention to a series of fast-moving events, Bavelier said. 5“A lot of different aspects of the visual system are being enhanced
4、, not just one, she said. The new work suggests that playing video games could someday become part of vision-correction treatments, which currently rely mainly on surgery or corrective lenses. 6“Once youve had eye surgery or get corrective lenses, exposing yourself to these games should help the opt
5、ical system to recover faster and better, you need to retrain the brain to make use of the better, crisper information thats coming in as a result of your improved eyesight, Bavelier said. 7Expert action gamers in the study played first-person shooters Unreal Tournament 2004 and Call of Duty 2. A gr
6、oup of experienced nonaction gamers played The Sims 2, a “life simulation video game. The players of nonaction video games didnt see the same vision benefits, the study says. 8Bavelier and others are now trying to figure out exactly why action games in particular seem to sharpen visual skill. It may
7、 be that locating enemies and aiming accurately is a strenuous, strength-building workout for the eyes, she said. 9Another possible reason is that the unpredictable, fast-changing environment of the typical action game requires players to constantly monitor entire landscapes and analyze optical data
8、 quickly.

9、新的研究说明。 2这种能力被称作对照灵敏功能，它甚至可以允许人们在相同颜色的背景中看清灰色梯度的细微区别。这也是随着年龄增长而下降的最初视觉倾向之一。 3根据罗切斯特大学达芙妮巴威利尔领导的工作证明，这就是为什么经常玩动作视频游戏能够提供长期视觉能力的原因。 4先前的研究说明这种游戏还可以提高其他视觉技能，如同时跟踪好几个物体和注意一系列快速移动物体的能力，巴威利尔说。 5“视觉系统的很多不同方面正得到提高，而不仅仅是一个，她说。这项新的工作说明玩视频游戏将来某一天能够成为视觉纠正治疗的一局部，目前还主要依赖于外科手术或矫正镜片。 6“一旦你做了眼科手术或进行镜片矫正，让自己暴露于这些游戏中会
10、帮助视觉系统更快更好地恢复，由于你的视力得到提高，你需要重新锻炼大脑来使用看到的更好和更零碎的信息，巴威利尔说。 7在这项研究中，老练的动作类游戏玩家在虚幻竞技场2004和使命召唤2中玩第一人称射击游戏。一群有经验的非动作类游戏玩家玩模拟人生2一个模仿生活的视频游戏。非动作类视频游戏的玩家并没有出现同样的视力优势，这项研究说。 8巴威利尔和其他人正努力准确了解动作类游戏似乎特别能使视觉能力敏锐的原因。对于眼睛来说，似乎准确给敌人定位并瞄准是一个艰巨的增强意志的检测，她说。 9另一个可能的原因是这种典型的动作类游戏难以预见的快速变化的环境需要游戏玩家坚持不懈地监控整个视野，并能够迅速地分析视力数据。最后，巴威利尔说这种游戏的丰富高潮或许也在起作用。 10“在你的任务中获得成功是令人愉快的，她说。“当你将这些回报与其他因素联系起来的时候，你会学习到更多知识。 （责编：张楚武）
