With the development of internet, internet addiction disorder becomes a hot issue by our society. A lot of students neglected their study because of video games. As we knows the negative effect of video games they have on teenager’s life, but researchers have found something different. Action video games have certain promoter action on the development of gamers’visual-spatial cognition. Online games need to mobilize a variety of cognitive abilities, and to focus on distribution and rational allocation. On-line games exercise gamers’visual spatial attention, so enhance the sensitivity of the information and improve the spatial cognitive ability. Therefore, not only the ability to search for more goals, it will also capture the distraction stimulus information. This selective attention advantage will be reflected in simple and complex cognitive activities, manifested in efficiency in visual search task. In the present study, selective attention characteristics will be discussed in the field of view of simple and complex.Gamers exhibited an enhancement in attentional resources compared with nongamers,not only in the periphery but also in central vision. Internet addiction tendencies have advantages in endogenous attention and exogenous attention.In the first experiment, subjects’selecticve attention characteristics will be tested in different Stimulating properties. In the memory condition of the first experiment, participants were required to remember an easily distinguishable color (red, green, blue, or yellow) and subsequently search for opening direction of a square in a visual search display. The search display could contain a singleton distractor, which, when present, had the same color as the memorized item or an unrelated color, and there is no singleton distractor in the search display. The main indicators are the search reaction, the search accuracy rate and recall correct rate.The second experiment explore the visual attention characteristics of internet attention tendency which in different level of inhibition incentive under the guidance of visual working memory in complex field of view. The probabilities of the emergence of interference Stimulate are 20% and 80% in the search display. In match trials distracting stimuli are different with memory condition, in control trials there are three distracters are same with memory condition. The main indicators are the search reaction, the search accuracy rate and recall correct rate.The results of the studies are listed as follows:1.Whether in single or multidistractors field of view, attention resource of internet addiction tendency is rich search reaction time is shorter than control group.2.Different types of memory affected the reaction time of both groups.3.Internet addiction tendency subjects tend to seek the presence of novel stimuli.4. Stimulating properties have no effect on internet addiction tendency when need to remember the contents.5. internet addiction tendency can effectively form search strategies with the inhibition motivation gradually increases.6.At lower inhibition motivation internet addiction tendency need more motivation to suppress distracting stimuli.The results showed that:Internet attention tendency’s reaction time for search display is shorter than control group, and the accuracy were no different whether in the field of view of simple or complex. Internet addiction tendency’s selective attention in simple tasks and complex tasks are better than normal subjects. Addiction subjects can form an effective search strategy, attention inhibition effect increases with motivation gradually increases, which can effectively suppress irrelevant information...
