∞ Gamer kids are more creative, says study

GamePro:

HealthCanal reports that a new study of nearly 500 12 year olds found noticeably increased creativity among those who played video games, while use of cellphones, the Internet and computers (for non-gaming purposes) were unrelated to that particular branch of the imagination.

The gauge for creativity is the Torrance Test, a broadly accepted academic gauge used to measure creative thinking.

    Interesting stuff.
    It shows just how much we don’t know about the ways video games influence us in general.

    One thing I know is that video gaming saved me the use of my right hand and lower arm after a very complicated fracture.
