Teaching Women Visuospatial Skills
Could action videogames help erase the gender gap in science?
While men scored better than women before training, after playing Medal
of Honor both women and men improved significantly. The difference
between males and females after the training was not significant -- the
gap between women and men was almost completely erased. Even more
impressively, the researchers retested both groups five months later
and found that both groups were still performing as well as they had
right after training. The group playing Ballance showed no significant
gains.
