I've always felt like this was the case, nice to have it backed up by some research. I think they help because they give the user an environment that forces and rewards critical thinking. Contrary to the mom's warning, it seems like video games do the exact opposite of melt the brain, they give it an arena to practice and sharpen its abilities. My suspicion is that sports do so as well. I'd like to see the comparison of students that do well on the field and students that wreck in game. Good post!
