"6. The Cycle of Expertise. Video games will provide sets of challenges until certain actions, behaviors and
skills become routine and automated. The games then provide a new problem in the form of a boss, new level or game mechanic that makes the gamer re-think their mastery, learn a new skill and then integrate this skill into the rest of the experience. This is where mastery is consolidated through repetition only to be challenged again, and it is an integral part of learning and expertise."
Response
When reading the article this is something that I personally have experienced. I have been playing video games since I was as young as 5 years old. I probably have played video games for and average of 2 or 3 hours a day for my entire life. I watched games evolve and become more challenging over the years. There are many games I play that challenge me physically and mentally for many hours at a time. The puzzles and learning curve are something that will always be with me because of video games.
