BBC Radio 4 - One to One, Gaming and Me: Ellie Gibson speaks to Andrew Przybylski

Ellie Gibson and Professor Andrew Przybylski talk about psychology and gaming.

Having spent her life playing and writing about video games, Ellie Gibson meets Professor Andrew Przybylski to talk about the impact video games might have on the mind.

Ellie Gibson has spent her life playing and writing about video games.  It is a passion that she enjoys sharing with her son but as a parent she's become interested in the impact games play on the mind and behaviour.  It's an emerging area of science and one that's frequently skewed by fevered debates about whether games are "good" or "bad".  Ellie's theory is that exploring online worlds and connecting with one another through games is far more constructive than endlessly scrolling through social media, and it's a theory she explores with Professor Andrew Przybylski at the Oxford Internet Institute in the hope that he'll agree.

Producer: Toby Field for BBC Audio in Bristol

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
