Video games help to improve players' reaction time. Reaction time is the time it takes for a person's body to respond to something. It is important in many sports and day-to-day activities. For example, suppose your mom makes you a cup of hot chocolate. You touch the hot cup and pull your hand away quickly. That is reaction timeāthe time it takes your mind to tell your hand to pull away from the hot cup. Because video games move at such a fast pace, people who play them improve their reaction times. In video games involving car races, for example, players face obstacles as they speed toward the finish line. Players must rely on reaction time to avoid hitting anything so they can make it to the end. From reading paragraph 5 of the Felton article, a student could conclude that A) players should not eat or drink while playing video games. B) playing video games can improve skills that are useful in life. C) players should limit fast-paced video games to reduce reaction time. D) players should limit fast-paced video games to increase reaction time.
