Video gaming may be associated with better cognitive performance in children
I’d be a very different person without games when I was young. Got me into programming, thinking beyond my immediate reality… etc. More stimulation is probably good for development, that’s how pathways form, I have been told.<p>Call me armchair “points out the obvious parts then gets pessimistic guy,” but we’ll <i>likely</i> never actually know if it’s a correlation in the time period that’s more consistent with like… the nutritional availability and parenting habits. Or for that matter The Osbornes going off the air?<p>I suspect that a lot of our policy actions must be suspiciously based on suspicions until we make a major breakthrough in neurology or statistical analysis. Do what works for now.<p>Seems like brains that are engaged have better outcomes than passive ones, let’s do that for now!
