Different cognitive abilities displayed by action video gamers and non-gamers

作者：

Highlights：

• For Stroop, AVGPs responded faster than NVGPs but made significantly more errors.

• For TMT AVGPs displayed faster RTs while error rates did not differ compared to NVGPs.

• AVGPs display more efficient processing speed and task-switching ability.

• AVGPs adopt a strategy favouring speed over accuracy on a cognitive inhibition task.

• Our data corroborate previous findings of a different cognitive profile for AVGPs.
