@tomskerous that's "brain training games", not videogames. huge difference, and the lit says NO to "brain training games", YES to videogames -
@avantgame never read the lit, so no evidence, but always thought args in Steven Johnson's "everything bad is good for you" quite persuasive -
@tomskerous@avantgame 1/2 Don't agree. We did a randomised control trial in Scotland with the 'video game' Dr Kawashima's Brain Training.
