If you’re a gamer and (somehow) you’re also married with children, you might be more open-minded to the positive effect of certain video games on young children’s education. But when they start beating you at games you’ve been playing for years, your gamer’s ego and your scientific curiosity will make you wonder how could the master be so easily defeated by mere disciples.  

The experience described on gamecritics.com may prove an adequate start to such an investigation. One is no longer very surprised at the fact that young’uns often manage to defeat people who are, let’s say, level 30 (in their thirties, that is), at games which the “adults” had been playing for much longer than they. Were those years you spent in front of now outdated gaming equipment in vain?

The thing is, it seems that only certain gaming styles can be mastered by kids with such prowess. A veteran may be wiser, but when speed and reflexes are all that matter, he or she must bow in front of the novice. Still, it’s much easier for kids to adapt to new types of gaming, and it’s amazing how well they do it. The author of the Gamecritics article surmised that the age cap for game instinctual learning would be 12 years old. So if you have kids, or a younger sibling to whom you wish to impart the ways of gaming, do so when they’re under 12 and you will create monsters (in the good sense of the word). Who knows? This may very well be the dawn of a new age, when a generation of elite gamers will take the lead and finally save humanity (on their hard drive) from itself.

Mind you, this is no “official” scientific study, it’s just a topic of interest which has recently come up on the Web. I wish there were a science devoted to gaming – Gameology, it might be called… Maybe the perspective of such a discipline becoming a reality isn’t far-fetched at all.
