We have seen video games make their way into therapy programs to boost cognition but scientists at the Florida State University's Department of Psychology are now challenging existing claims as, basically, hogwash.
"Despite the hype, in reality, there is little solid evidence that games enhance cognition at all," said assistant professor Walter Boot. "The idea that video games could enhance cognition was exciting because it represented one of the few cases in which cognitive training enhanced abilities that weren't directly practiced," Boot stated. "But we found no benefits of video game training." Not only did some of his studies fail to replicate those earlier findings, but "no study has yet met the 'gold standard' methods necessary in intervention studies of this sort."
