Gran Turismo Sport develops strong hand-eye coordination and reaction time through its realistic racing simulation. Players engage in strategic thinking to optimize race lines and car setups, and spatial awareness is honed through navigating complex tracks at high speeds. The campaign mode encourages persistence and learning transfer as players progress through different racing leagues.

While not directly manipulative, the online competitive aspect could expose players to social comparison. The game's emphasis on vehicle acquisition in the campaign mode, while not tied to real-world money, could foster a drive for constant acquisition.
