Amy- The point was is this: The argument that video games use more parts of the brain is false. A simple math test shows to prove that. The math test requires "less" brain activity, but uses more vital parts of the brain than would the video games. Video games only use parts of the brain associated with eye coordination and movement. While the Kraeplin Test uses both hemisphere's of the frontal lobe which is where learning, emotion and control behavior come into play. I am sure that there "some" video games like the Nintendo DS Sudoku and other memory building video games that most adults use. However most children and teens do not play those games. I do agree with you, as I have said in previous posts, that parental role is a huge player is very important. If you have further questions please read the article that I have attached to the post that I used to get the information.
