Full event details

While video games often receive a bad press, particularly in terms of the debates around their potential to become addictive and how they might cause aggressive behaviour, this session will focus on some of the positive aspects of video gaming and virtual reality. Within this session, Dr Chris Fullwood will introduce some of the latest research findings in this field and consider the potential for video games and virtual reality to create positive psychological, social, developmental and health benefits.
