The University of Sheffield is looking for more Counter-Strike 2 players for a new study to determine if Counter-Strike players are actually better learners.

This research comes after a recent study from another student that looked into the effects that opening cases on Counter-Strike can have on certain areas of cognitive performance.

Previous Study:

The University of Sheffield has already done several studies on CS2 players cognitive abilities. However, one previous study was aimed at looking at the decision making capabilities of non CS players to CS players. In short, the study concluded that Counter-Strike players were faster at decision making than people who do not play Counter-Strike. The study revealed that higher skilled players were faster to make correct decisions and take action than lower skilled players. They also suggest that the findings:

Findings could be useful outside of gaming – e.g. to support cognitive care and development in people who work in high pressure environments, such as doctors, nurses, air traffic controllers and financial traders, where fast, accurate decision-making is critical
