Scientists at the Deakin University in Australia came to the conclusion that preschoolers, who play interactive games, especially Wii games, have better motor skills than children who don’t.
Of course you cannot conduct any super complicated tests with preschoolers. Hence the children had to shoot a goal, hit a spot by throwing a ball or catch the ball. A mentioned before, the test showed that the children who play video games had notably better hand-eye coordination.
However, this doesn’t only apply to children. Even adults can slowly regain their motor skills after a heavy accident with possible disabilities using various methods. It usually starts with picking up a pencil, drinking out of a plastic cup and even using an interactive computer program.
