Don't Shoot the Messenger: Still No Evidence That Video-Game Experience Is Related to Cognitive Abilities-A Reply to Green et al. (2017).
نویسندگان
چکیده
Green et al. (2017) raise two broad concerns with our two studies (Unsworth et al., 2015) showing little association between self-reported video-game experience and cognitive abilities: (a) Our analyses assumed linear gaming-cognition relationships and ignored possible confounding associations among different video-game genres, and (b) the video-game experience questionnaires were problematic and misapplied. We rebut these critiques in this Commentary.

a r t i c l e i n f o In this reply, we respond to methodological points raised by Boot and Simons (2012) to a paper on video game experience and optimization of executive control processes (Strobach, Frensch, & Schubert, 2012).
