3D Brain Boost: Research Shows 3D Movies Make Children ‘Smarter'

SUBSCRIBE to the Barcroft network:
Watching films in 3D can make children ‘smarter’ in the short term, according to the latest research. In a series of experiments, scientists found that junior participants who watched 3D footage demonstrated quicker reaction times than those who watched the same film clip in 2D. A follow-on from research in 2015, which monitored the effects of 3D on adults, behavioural scientist Patrick Fagan conducted the new study, testing children’s cognitive, social, emotional and physiological responses. The ‘Kids on 3D’ study was commissioned in part by Vue Entertainment and led by behavioural scientist Patrick Fagan. The experiment comprised a pre- and post-test design, with children completing the same measures before and after viewing a clip of Disney’s The Jungle Book in either RealD 3D or 2D.
