Hypothesis
We hypothesize that intense visual stimulation via extensive consumption of visual media enhances visual information processing and improves the acquisition of a motor skill with visual information processing demands. We suggest that these effects will be accompanied by increased functional connectivity between brain networks involved in visual information processing and motor learning, increased grey matter volume in these areas and diminished somatosensory perception capabilities.We tested this hypothesis on the experimental group by inducing intense visual stimulation through long daily television watching in a controlled environment. We investigated whether this would boost motor learning performance (represented by touch-typing on the PC keyboard), increase visual processing speed as well as visual short-term memory capacity as described in the Theory of Visual Attention (TVA)
