>Question: Do Video Games Increase IQ?>Answer: Games select and filter for higher fluid IQs because games adequately, intellectually challenge us as kids when school was not enough. There are studies that children crave challenge and mastery, which games provide for them, and that creates a feedback loop.This is a question that can be answered by yes or no. If they could have said yes, they would have. They spun an empty answer because this website is called
healthergamer.gg and therefore it has a certain bias, "we have no data that says yes" isn't their preferred answer.
Another quote:
>While games can be good at indicators of a person’s IQ, that does not necessarily mean that they boost IQ.That is a correct conclusion. They collected data and noticed that people who play certain games have higher IQ. The problem is that this is 100% guaranteed to happen: different games attract different people, some games are more difficult to play and are therefore more likely to attract smarter people. In other words a person who enjoys playing Tetris may have an IQ between 60 and 150, meanwhile a person who enjoys commercial plane flight simulators may have have an IQ between 90 and 150. They probably won't be on the low end because the game is complicated. If a person can't understand a game they probably won't enjoy playing it, they'll pick another one. However that doesn't help at all for determining whether video games increase IQ.
At the end of the article:
>Intelligence is complicated and not understood very well. Therefore, it is hard to measure if video games make you smarter.An exaggeration, it isn't a difficult task. In fact they did successfully collect some weak evidence, for example I can believe that people who play 3D games are better at rotating complex shapes in their head. However the article author clearly didn't find strong enough evidence to say video games increases IQ in general.
