You can use maps from youe favorite video games to build "memory palaces" or "memory houses." For example I use the maps The Pit and Valhalla from Halo 3 to store mnemonic imagery I that triggers some memory I need to recall for a test or something. I'm an engineering student and it has really boosted my confidence during tests/exams
THIS right here is awesome. I've used the Loci (Memory Palace) method quite a bit in the past, and am blown away by how effective it is. Especially how long that information sticks around for recall.
One of the biggest challenges I've personally encountered is running out of locations to use. This is an excellent approach to massively expanding the options you can use. Even better, at any moment you can do a walk through to re-establish memory, or even download a layout of the map to label for additional reference and solidification.
The Memory Palace, or Loci method, has been on my list for quite a while to make a video on. Work has just kept me from being able to release more regular videos. But it will happen at some point soon! May have to include the video game map tip in there too. Thanks for sharing and swinging by the channel!
I have been a simmer for over 40 years and it keeps me young...
Yes it's good for you...

3:15-Stages of Cognitive Development
3:33-Play Gives you an Opportunity to create simulations of certain things you might encounter later in life
4:00-It gives you an opportunity to develop skills related to abstraction,logic,critical thinking,creativity and problem solving
5:10-Automatisation: After So much practice and concious effort things we do become automatic to us
7:10-Gives you an opportunity to test your problem solving/Creativity communication ability
8:50-Excercise(BDNF and Neurogenesis)and Reading(Gives you ability to acquire knowledge about something without even doing it or experiencing so basically escaping the process reinventing the wheel)
10:20-To get smarter you need balance of video games (Training and simulating part of brains required for many real world activities due to which we will be able to perform such tasks easily and efficiently in less time) Excersise(Keeping you healthy and also increase Neurogenesis and BDNF) and Reading (Giving you knowledge on basis on which trained and experience mind will take decision)
I dont know if you know this, but youre well on your way to 1 milion subscribers. This kind of quality content doesnt stay unnoticed, keep the amazing work up!
Thank you Pixel Speed. You have no idea how much that feedback means to me!
I also think that gaming might have big potential of helping in weight loss process i mean it increases metabolism for hours and distract from snacking
My biggest improvement in smarts happened around 1 year ago. When i started laying Hearts of Iron IV. It is a ww2 strategy game where you can start from either form January 1936 or August 1939. OH boi Oh boi.. I was SO BAD that i lost as Germany to Poland on my first game cause the tutorial was so confusing (I realised later that i learn more easily by myself basically from mistakes). It had military doctrines, weather, biomes, terrain.. even a focus tree?? I started to get better at doing the encirlements depending on a few scenarios. Either get medium tanks and clap the infantry, get anti tank divisions and clap the mechanized or tanks and finally paratroopers. many more were made according to terrain. Gosh i felt so smart after conquering the soviet union within 1.2 years! I it was 4million soviets dead and mine around 250k-400k
Love how you mentioned that you end up learning better by just playing with the game mechanics and figuring it out through trial and error. That's a real life example of how iterating a simulation over and over and over again leads to effective learning. AND you got really good at it after sticking with it for a while.
Same part of the brain that figures out the rules and mechanics of a new game, is the same part that figures out new situations and skills in real life too. Thanks for sharing your own personal story of experiencing it! That's awesome.
I have doubts about this experiment as from how you described it they were missing a control group that doesn't play video games. Without the control part of the experiment the data will not be accurate. Do you have a link the the case study so I can read more about it?
Hey Sirius! Sorry I missed this comment. I might have gone a little bit 'too' high level for the sake of brevity in the overview of the study for the video. This cross-sectional, observational, study had both an experimental group and a control group. The control group was administered the same test battery as the experimental group, but without the introduction and exposure to video games.
Here's a link to the open access version of the study if you want to dig into some of the details!

@@CommonKnowledge42 awesome thanks I look forward to reading it today 🙂.
I had a feeling it may have been left out in your description but still present in the study but I still had to mention and check.
Playing for ex. futboll is one thing that fits to this narrative, and is also healthy for many reasons. Health, social relations and so on. Videop games may be fun but in essence i would recommend something else, even gardening, you also need strategy, knowladge, and its dam fun while doing things in your yard you can watch all those various bugs that you didnt ever noticed or birds, and it also can be a social expirience.
I actually coached futbol (even if we call it soccer up here 🤣) and I agree, there is tons of overlap from the concepts of this video and team sports. You're given an environment to test out things and get real-time feedback, and the development of automatization is huge.
As an additional benefit, you're knocking out the mental aspects of improving intelligence right along with the physical aspects all at once.
(Also, big fan of noticing the unexpected small things like bugs and birds that you may have never noticed if you weren't actively looking closer and being present in the world too.)
Thanks for watching and dropping a comment! Great perspective!
Don't worry small channel guy, Videos like these that takes many people's interest and is also a rejection of a common understanding WILL blow up.
If not by people, Then by the algorithm.
Thanks for the encouragement Ahmet! It's positivity like yours that keeps me making videos. You're awesome!
@@CommonKnowledge42 Still couldn't be as awesome as you are.
If I’m being honest, I personally don’t know if video games help me. I for some reason have this addictive personality. If I like something, I go all in. I can’t play video games because if I do I will want to be the best at it therefore distracting me from real life responsibilities. I used to be a very HEAVY competitive gamer mainly in first person shooters during my teen years, so around 12-17, am currently 19 almost 20. Bc of hardcore tryhard gaming, I spent sometimes up to 6-7 hrs gaming. Even during school. I play very sporadically now.
I found out that even watching tv gets me distracted. Right now I’m working on controlling my impulses, though the real underlying thing is actually curiosity. I’ve always been super curious about everything since little. Can be a gift or a curse especially now in the modern age of distraction. But when I put my head down into the books and wrestled with multiple ideas from multiple authors, I got hooked and literally exponentially increased my knowledge and understanding of things. But still left me more curious. Why am I saying all of this?
Someone will definitely relate to me and want to tell you that you’re not alone. If you have crazy creativity like me it can really make you feel as if you’re an outlier. Learn what helps and what doesn’t. I figured video games don’t help me bc of what I described above. My brain absorbs ideas, information and situations like a sponge and is coming constantly with new ideas and perspective. So I can’t play video games or else that’s what I will spend all my time on trying to become the best and “figuring out”.
The good news is, sounds like you have a superpower 😜 The bad news is exactly as you described, pointing the energy from that superpower in the right direction is incredibly challenging.
But, back to more good news, it sounds like you're already focusing on doing precisely the right thing by gradually learning how to control it and use it in a productive way (absolutely not easy, that's for sure...) And when (not if.. I only know you from a comment but your ability to understand yourself in a deep way shows, and you're gonna' crush it) you learn do excel in doing that - it doesn't matter if it's your professional life, creative endeavors, or any problem you aim that energy at, you're going to excel greatly.
Thanks for watching and dropping a comment with your perspective, glad you found the channel!
Exactly the same to me.
This is great quality content! This channel will 100% grow soon
Thanks Leland! I hope you’re right. 😄
Thank you.
How is your channel so small? Your videos are amazing ngl
Gaming and excersise, check. Just that reading part, thatll be the biggest challenge😂 awesome video man, hope you keep making more
Once you find the books that interest you, making time for it becomes a lot easier. You're 2 for 3 on becoming a genius! I believe in you, haha!
Thanks for the comment and compliment. More videos in the pipeline later in 2023!
I can't believe your channel is so underrated! I love gaming and excercise!
On the path to the big brain trifecta 👋
Awesome video, keep up the great work!!
Interesting video, keep it up!
What the Hell, was shocked about your Views. You Sir, are going high soon I will promise. Keep it up! Beautiful Vids!
Thanks Masterient, hopefully time will prove you right! The early stages of gaining traction on RUclips sure can be a slog.
Love the vid! I subbed cause of this and the social media one!
Heck yeah, love to hear that! Glad to have you in the new and growing community.
Criminally underrated video.
Great channel, Just subscribed!

Good
lovely stuff
Subbed, liked and commented. Even shared with the wife.
Me developing a 200IQ in Warzone 😂👌🏾
I usually pick up FPS games really quickly. I remember the first time I tried Warzone... I was immediately humbled by the established player base 😂
“mission failed, we'll get em next time” 😅💔
Underrated
Great stuff
Your channel is so good but if you want to grow you have to upload videos more often. So people can recognize you more easily. 😊
Thanks! I had to take some time off last year, but have new videos on the drawing board to be released more frequently for 2022! Thanks for the feedback and the compliment 🙂
damn bro make more vids
On it! Thanks for this man. I really appreciate it.
first
Second! Dang it!
it doesnt make me smarter i suck at everything
i propably have 10k hours in minecraft and im only slightly better than average which is just absolutely horible for someyone that has played this game for so long my reaction time sucks my multitasking sucks my game awareness sucks everything sucks
😑 It's not your fault, be kind with yourself.
huge sign to stop playing games and do another hobby
this just feels like am excuse for losers who play 24/7
And also those losers who like to read and exercise along with playing video games to maximize the benefit! 🙂(That's the premise of the last third of the video)
Thanks for swinging by an watching, appreciate the comment!
