Definitely anecdotal but I think a lot faster because of the mental workout that comes from fast-paced fighter games and shooters. Additionally, some fighter pilots noted over the years that new generations of pilots had faster reflexes than their older peers specifically because the younger generations had gotten into the habit of playing lots of video games growing up.


What games were they playing? PvZ and Animal Crossing? ;)

Gran Turismo also helps drivers.

Surprisingly, one fighter pilot mentioned mario kart. A helicopter pilot I personally know in the Marines also said mario kart!


I remember reading a study claiming that realistic tridimensional simulations are correlated with visuospatial intelligence.
