<div>Although
some literature suggests that video games improve attention skills within the
game-play, this study addressed translating this effect on attention in the
real world. Research has shown video games can help people focus. Yet, there is
lack of evidence displaying whether video games improve or diminish attention
skills. The video game “The Inattentive Mind”, a game created for this study, used
a method of overstimulation in the form of user interfaces, sound, and
environmental interaction to try and help participants to empathize or improve
their attention skills outside of the game. Using an experimental design of
pre-test, video game intervention, and post-test, results were expected to show
improved attention skills. These results did not show
conclusive evidence of significant changes in attention skills. However, the
results did show an increase in ADHD understanding.<br></div>
