Study corresponding author Professor Alex Wade said: “Games such as League of Legends and DOTA 2 are complex, socially-interactive and intellectually demanding. The researchers say the correlation between ability at action strategy video games such as League of Legends and Defense of the Ancients 2 and a high IQ is similar to the correlation seen in other more traditional strategy games such as chess.
In the second study, the researchers found that for large groups consisting of thousands of players, performance in MOBAs and IQ behave in similar ways as players get older.īut the effect was not found for First Person Shooters, where performance declined after the teens. The second study analysed data from four games: two MOBAs - League of Legends and Defense of the Ancients 2 (Dota 2) - and two ‘First Person Shooters’ - Destiny and Battlefield 3.įirst Person Shooters (FPS) are games involving shooting enemies and other targets, with the player viewing the action as though through the eyes of the character they are controlling. In the study, the researchers observed a correlation between performance in the strategic game League of Legends and performance in standard paper-and-pencil intelligence tests. Researchers from York’s Departments of Psychology and Computer Science carried out two studies.The first examined a group of subjects who were highly experienced in League of Legends - one of the most popular strategic video games in the world with millions of players. These are two of the most popular types of computer game and are regularly played by hundreds of millions worldwide. The researchers focused on ‘Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas’ (MOBAs) - action strategy games that usually involve two opposing teams of up to five individuals - as well as multiplayer ‘First Person Shooter’ games. They said they simply establish a correlation between skill at certain online games of strategy and intelligence. The researchers stressed that the studies have no bearing on questions such as whether playing computer games makes young people smarter or otherwise.
Studies conducted at the Digital Creativity Labs (DC Labs) at York University found that some action strategy video games can act similar to IQ tests. Researchers have discovered a link between young people’s ability to perform well at two games like League of Legends and Call of Duty and high levels of intelligence. Kids who are good at video games tend to be more intelligent than those who just play outside, according to a new study.
