That's ambiguous. On a computer screen?
Yesh
I don't think a computer screen stimulates vision that much. I mean it's only 2D, not 3D, a fairly limited range of brightness. It's always at the same distance from your head so your eyes don't even need to re-focus. It's not even that big. I mean you can probably still see your desk with your peripheral vision, so it's not even needed while looking at a screen... How would that train or improve something?
I'd do something like go outside and play paintball in the woods, if I wanted to use my peripheral vision.
What if OP wants to play mahjong on a 200 inch projector screen
Then all but one argument would still apply. I mean that'd probably be even darker. But OP needed to move their head around, which is... something... I guess? I'd play some spaceship game on that kind of gear, though.
(And why do inches even extend to 200 when it comes to projectors? While I have to remember additional feet that I'm tall? I don't get it. But certainly makes the conversion easier.)
No no clue. Needed this:

I’m not sure peripheral vision needs training, it is a reptilian connection. If something comes at out in the field of vision your body will react before you have time to think.
If you meant trying to state at the center while trying to discern info not in your central field of view that seems more like an attention shift than vision improvement
I doubt it. You’d be better off practicing focusing on your finger in front of your face and then, without moving your head or finger, focusing on everything but your finger. Boom, easy way to see peripheral stuff
