In addition, the ERP results revealed that the difference wave of the contralateral delay activity (CDA) component (size 4–size 2) elicited by experts was significantly larger than that of non-experts, suggesting that the VWM capacity was higher in experts than in non-experts. The behavioral results showed that ARSG experts had higher accuracy and larger VWM capacity than non-experts. Using both behavioral and event-related potential (ERP) measurements, this study tested whether ARSG experts had larger VWM capacity than non-experts in a change detection task. However, it is yet unknown whether the ARSG experience is related to the development of VWM capacity. ARSG requires attention, visual working memory (VWM), sensorimotor skills, team cooperation, and strategy-making abilities, thus offering promising insights into the learning-induced plasticity. 4School of Human Environmental Sciences, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR, United StatesĪction real-time strategy gaming (ARSG)-a major genre of action video gaming (AVG)-has both action and strategy elements.3Faculty of Natural Science, University of Stirling, Stirling, United Kingdom.
