Do you remember a certain board game that put you in the shoes of a surgeon in full operation? Currently, the network is loaded with video games that simulate how intricate and difficult it is to operate on a human being, trying to imitate the skills of a true surgeon. But the reality is far from the context in a video game; Being a surgeon requires exceptional motor skills and an excellent ability to link visual perception with hand mobility. And a calm, calculating and well-trained mind must be added to make decisions under pressure.
Certain studies have shown that people who play video games with relative constancy develop greater motor capacity in proportion to the use of their eyesight. During a test that confronted two groups of people with a series of challenges that required coordinated use of the hands and eyes, it was found that the group consisting of video game fans easily outperformed the other, which consisted of of people who did not play video games regularly.
These results (and others from different studies) support the potential of using video games to cement and refine the visual and motor coordination of aspiring surgeons. Opening the patient for surgery has been neglected in many modern hospitals. Instead, more subtle techniques are used, such as introducing tiny cameras through incisions along with medical instruments, all monitored by a screen. A context where you can take advantage of all the motor training provided by video games.
