This effect actually has a name: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect Neural plasticity is an amazing thing. For example in blind people the visual parts of the brain can get rewired to process sound or other senses instead. The flipside of that is that if I spend a significant portion of my life focusing on video game scores, (or how much karma my posts get on reddit), it feels like my brain rewires itself to play those games better - potentially at the cost of other types of performance. In effect, I think that "garbage in, garbage out" applies to humans too.
