It is known that the outcomes of complex video game (VG) skill acquisition are correlated
with individual differences in demographic and behavioral variables, such as age …

Acquisition of complex skills is a universal feature of human behavior that has been
conceptualized as a process that starts with intense resource dependency, requires effortful …

In recent years the association between video games, cognition, and the brain has been
actively investigated. However, it is still unclear how individual predispositions, such as …

For decades, the prevailing view in the field of cognitive neuroscience was that, upon
reaching maturity, the adult brain settles into a relatively fixed, unchanging state. Consistent …

The ability of the human brain to learn is exceptional. Yet, learning is typically quite specific
to the exact task used during training, a limiting factor for practical applications such as …

Background: Many studies are currently researching the effects of video games, particularly
in the domain of cognitive training. Great variability exists among video games however, and …

Many recent studies using healthy adults document enhancements in perception and
