Kyong Shim, a PhD student at the University of Minnesota, said she had been ridiculed by many people when she wanted to study computer games, the latest news of January 28.　　But what makes her laugh is that America's diverse government departments and the US military want to use Shim's research data to explore how to train soldiers and human behavior patterns. The military has started using MMORPG games to improve their team-work training, improve their communication style and how the team accomplishes a common goal. Shim and other researchers studied human patterns and communication personalities based on the endless Task 2 user data provided by the SOE.　　Sony offers anonymous gamers ' contacts, game logs and other game data. The interesting finding is that female gamers have an average of more than 2 hours of online per week than men. According to the statistical age of 14-24-year-old male players (such as 40 years old) and the number of players in the age group accounted for half.　　There will be some new data trends when the game is turned into a free game, but not for long.　　MMO games, especially some action games, play a role in the training of team goals because some of the big tasks in the game require players to collaborate and communicate clearly.　　The military used a number of games to help train soldiers, and shim her task was to improve the game so that soldiers could benefit more from training.　　Shim and her university computer science professor Jaideep Srivastava a different interest in the military's research, which is to find out the connection between virtual world behavior and real-world behavior.　　Shimhe and Srivastava received 6 allocations, 4 of which came from the National Science Foundation to help them complete the second study, the link between virtual world behavior and real-world behavior. The interest in the U.S. Office's national function research is to discover how real-world behavior is influenced by the virtual world. (Digging the shell net)
