Action Video Game Training for Healthy Adults: A Meta-Analytic Study
Open accessAbstract
Action video game (AVG) has attracted increasing attention from both the public and from researchers. More and more studies found video game training improved a variety of cognitive functions. However, it remains controversial whether healthy adults can benefit from AVG training, and whether young and older adults benefit similarly from AVG training. In the present study, we aimed to quantitatively assess the AVG training effect on the cognitive ability of adults and to compare the training effects on young and older adults by conducting a meta-analysis on previous findings. We systematically searched video game training studies published between January 1986 and July 2015. Twenty studies were included in the present meta-analysis, for a total of 313 participants included in the training group and 323 participants in the control group. The results demonstrate that healthy adults achieve moderate benefit from AVG training in overall cognitive ability and moderate to small benefit in specific cognitive domains. In contrast, young adults gain more benefits from AVG training than older adults in both overall cognition and specific cognitive domains. Age, education, and some methodological factors, such as the session duration, session number, total training duration, and control group type, modulated the training effects. These meta-analytic findings provide evidence that AVG training may serve as an efficient way to improve the cognitive performance of healthy adults. We also discussed several directions for future AVG training studies.

Young adults without prior extensive gaming experience saw benefits in visuospatial ability, attention, and processing speed after video game training.
“Additionally, a meta-analysis found that young adults without prior extensive gaming experience saw benefits in visuospatial ability, attention, and processing speed after video game training [35].”
From Health Benefits of Video Games in Adolescents and Young Adults (2026) · cites this paper as [35]
The Results section, “The Effect of AVG Training on Young and Older Adults” (page not provided), reports benefits for young adults in visuospatial ability and the combined domain of processing speed/attention. The Selection Criteria (page not provided) do not require participants to lack extensive prior gaming experience, so the claim's restriction to that group is unsupported. The analysis also concerns action video game training specifically. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
