BOSTON—In startling new research connecting gaming habits with verbal behavior, a Boston College study published Monday found that young children who played violent video games were significantly more likely to say “That’s Goro” when shown a picture of Goro.
“While their peers who did not play violent video games failed to identify Goro when presented with multiple images of the four-armed warrior humanoid, the children familiar with violent games immediately, and quite alarmingly, recognized him as ‘that guy from,’” said lead researcher Daphne Cronin, adding that those same children were exponentially more predisposed toward knowing both that Goro shoots fireballs and that those fireballs are green. “Not one of the children who didn’t play violent video games was aware that Goro has a stomp move where he jumps up into the sky and then crushes you, compared with a universal awareness of the impossible-to-dodge attack on the part of the other group. Interestingly, we saw the same shocking discrepancy with regard to the move where Goro grabs you with two hands and punches you repeatedly with the other two.” The study echoes previous research that found young children who watched violent movies were much more likely to point to a photo and say “That’s Leatherface.”Study: Infants Respond To Rustling Of Potato Chip Bag As Early As 3 WeeksFlight Attendant Quietly Informs First Class Passengers Where Real Emergency Exits Are
