Back in 2010, Ray Perez was a program officer at the Office of Naval Reasearch (ONR)'s warfighter perfomance department. Along with his team, he came to the fact that videogaming may help people to process information and have an aggressive response to an attack in a more agile way, thus setting new benchmarks when it comes to brain development knowledge. Perez used the term fluid intelligence intending that, contrary to what was previously known by science, the human brain's plasticity remains active even after a person is no longer a teen, which is when the brain was supposed to acquire its full maturity. Imaging techniques allows Perez for evincing that videogaming is a critical factor in this ongoing brain development, helping to sharpen and increase skills such as short-term memory and perceptual abilities.
