Is it true that playing games can increase intelligence? This is the Explanation of a UM Surabaya Lecturer

The rise of cases of game addiction and the lack of education about playing games as if stereotypes of this game must be abandoned by all groups. As if hitting the average fan to stay away from playing in the game until there is a ban and fatwa is forbidden.

Even though playing games if not used excessively has a positive impact on users. So what positive things can actually be taken from playing games?

UM Surabaya Faculty of Engineering (FT) lecturer Lukman Hakim shared five positive effects of playing games if not done excessively. First train focus on the goal.

“Practicing focus on goals will increase and hone brain activity. Of course in playing games, we want to always be a winner. This requires high concentration to be able to focus and achieve the highest score,” explained Lukman Tuesday (23/8/22)

According to Lukman, to complete a certain mission, the right strategy is needed so that it forces the brain to find a way out so that someone becomes a winner.

Both are rich in tactics. Playing games is not just limited to playing games in it. Someone is required to have a special strategy if you want a win.

“In order to achieve success in gaming, it requires good skills, more than one tactic and must be sensitive to break the deadlock. Therefore, we need high concentration to be able to do this," he added.

Third, get used to multi-activity. Sometimes when a person is confronted with work that is extra tiring and makes his head tired because the work is not finished, of course this will make the job worse because he cannot feel comfortable.

Then people who are used to playing games, he will take a little time to rest or recharge energy as a brain refresh by playing his favorite game. This habit can have a positive impact, namely getting used to doing more than one activity simultaneously.

Fourth hone the ability of cooperation. In the game play area, especially in online games such as the Battle Royale genre, Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) and First Person Shooter (FPS) teamwork is often required to get a victory. Therefore, we are also required to get used to communicating actively with the team to help and support each other in game play.

"The better our communication in games, the more we will understand each other," he said.

Fifth sense of sportsmanship to respect each other. The effect of playing the next game is that it can train respect for opponents. Appreciating every game you win or lose, in fact this can make someone more ready to accept defeat without feeling hopeless or win humbly. Because sometimes excessive euphoria is also not good.

"So this method can make someone to play more honestly following the rules," Lukman concluded.
