Is There a Difference Between Video Gaming and Non-Video Gamers?

The video gaming questionnaire is part of a larger screen time questionnaire that asked kids how many hours they spent on consoles or playing mobile phone or any other device. We compared performance when the kids performed two tasks inside the MRI scanner, these probe impulse control and working memory between video gamers and non-video gamers. So we have seen significant improvement on two tasks in terms of faster reaction time and video gamers, better performance in terms of impulse control and also better performance in tasks involving working memory,. accompanied by changes in brain function in regions of the brain involved in vision, attention, problem solving and memory processing.
