LEARNING
DO VIDEO GAMES EFFECT LEARNING?
*
Everything we do effects our learning-- whether we like it or not. The real question is whether video games ARE teaching the lifelong lessons you want your child to learn?
IS THIS EFFECT POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE?
*
Depends on which experts you ask. Some experts say NEGATIVE and others say POSITIVE. I say, do all things in moderation and there should be no problem.

Frontal lobe development is NECESSARY for learning to control behavior and developing memory, emotion, and learning. These things are essential in the classroom and overall academic success.
