The acquisition but not adaptation of contextual memories is enhanced in action video-game players

作者：

Highlights：

• Action video games (AVG) influence selective-attention functions in an implicit statistical learning task.

• This occurred only in the initial acquisition, but not later adaptation, of scene context memories.

• Action video game players (AVGPs) outperformed non-gamers (NAVGPs) in a statistical learning task.

• However, AVGPs and NAVGPs did not differ in the later adaptation phase, where irrelevant information had to be suppressed.
