Watching a 3D movie can more than double the concentration powers and cognitive processing of children, new research claims.
一项新研究声称，观看一部3D电影可以让儿童的注意力和认知处理速度提升一倍多。
A study by visual technology firm RealD and led by child psychologist Dr Richard Woolfson and associate lecturer at Goldsmiths Patrick Fagan suggests that children
aged between seven and 14 experienced twice the cognitive processing speed and performed better in testing after watching 20 minutes of a 3D film.
This is despite suggestions that attention spans in children have shortened in the last decade due to
unlimited to access to entertainment, including on-demand TV, gaming and social media.
A 2015 study claimed that watching 3D content had a similar effect to brain-training exercises.
Consumer psychologist Mr Fagan said that the increased
stimulation found in watching something in 3D "exercised" the brain and improved performance in the short term.
"3D films can play the role of 'brain-training' games and help to make children 'smarter' in the short term," he said.
"The shortening of response times after watching 3D was almost three times as big as that gained from watching 2D; in other words, 3D helps children process aspects of their environment more quickly. This is likely to be because 3D is a mentally
stimulating experience which 'gets the brain's juices flowing'."
