so onlineschools.com has an infographic that promotes gaming in the classroom. the main reason for this is because gaming prmotes the production of doapamine and that chemical in the brain allows for a learner to focus and make connections between neurons. stating that these connections and synapsis are the basis of learning.
my question is, if we believe that gaming is positive towards learning due to the production of dopamine, then what about the other ways that the brain creates dopamine?
"Dopamine is released (particularly in areas such as the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex) by rewarding experiences such as food, sex, drugs, and neutral stimuli that become associated with them.[34] Recent studies indicate that aggression may also stimulate the release of dopamine in this way.[35]" - wikipedia definition
or diet & exersice which also regulate the release of dopamine.
