Just curious if it accounted for other factors, like socio-economic status? also of note: Further, the researchers stress that this cross-sectional study does not allow for cause-and-effect analyses, and that it could be that children who are good at these types of cognitive tasks may choose to play video games. Also surely the type of video game plays a huge role. I can't imagine hours spent killing bots in Unreal Tournament did me much good. But I did learn words like "critical" and "paralysis" from playing Pokemon Yellow. One thing I do credit to video games - and I'm sure is similar with a large number of HN'ers - is my current career in software engineering. Installing cracks, mods, skins, etc. You learn about the file system, how to edit files, anti-virus software (to check the cracks you downloaded), and how to reinstall Windows XP when the crack turned out to be a virus.
