posted in Video Game News by swampgas on Aug 20th, 2001Big Daddy Lou mentioned this on our message board...the title of the article is "Computer games linked to learning problems". A short excerpt:
Latest research has found that children who play computer games could be causing long-term brain damage. [The] study looked at the brain activity of hundreds of students playing a Nintendo game, and compared it to other students who were carrying out basic arithmetic. It found that much more brain activity was needed to solve the simple mathematic tasks than was used to play the computer games, and that activity in the frontal lobe was particularly pronounced.Ok...so now not only are we heartless killers, but we're also idiots. Want to see my little study? Head off to Talk of the Town.
