SUMMARY:Leveling Up: Investigating the Impact of Video Gaming on Dual Task
 ing Performance
DESCRIPTION:Lauren Sprague and Kevin Trewartha (Michigan Technological Uni
 versity)\n\nThere are performance declines observed when an operator engag
 es in dual-tasking when compared to the tasks individually such as increas
 ed response time and decreased accuracy due to increased cognitive load (S
 trobach, 2019). This can be somewhat reduced through ensuring that the tas
 ks performed use different types of processing (i.e. visual vs auditory pr
 ocessing or verbal vs spatial processing) but can never be completely miti
 gated (Brünken et al., 2004). Dual tasking  requires high executive contro
 l skills, can be improved upon with training, and previous research has de
 monstrated that video game play can be that improvement mechanism (Green e
 t al., 2012). Since video games are frequently similar to real life and co
 mplex in nature players should be better at task-switching and dual taskin
 g in non-video game tasks than other non-video game playing populations (B
 ediou et al., 2018). Video games have been successfully used for training 
 in fields such as the military and surgeon training, fields that require h
 igh cognitive engagement and skill (Cauffman et al., 2022). This study see
 ks to solidify the findings of previous literature by utilizing novel data
  collection methods and collecting detailed demographic data in order to d
 etermine the effect of video game experience on dual tasking ability.\n\n
