Comparison of children’s gaming scores to NEPSY-II scores: Validation of computer games as cognitive tools

作者：

Highlights：

• For 11/15 games the children’s game and NEPSY-II performances significantly correlated.

• Many games predicted to use cognitive skills, correlated with right NEPSY-II measures.

• Additional skills also correlated with games, emphasizing the complexity of game play.

• Analysis confirmed at least one cognitive category for each game, except memory.

• Similar games could be used to practice or monitor cognition of schoolchildren.
