How Important Is the Digital Divide? The Relation of Computer and Videogame Usage to Gender Differences in Mental Rotation Ability (2005, background): “Many studies have shown that experiential factors, including computer and videogame usage, are related to spatial skill, such as mental rotation (MR; De Lisi & Cammarano, 1996; De Lisi & Wolford, 2002; Duesbury & O’Neil, 1996; Larson et al., 1999; McClurg & Chaille, 1987; Okagaki & Frensch, 1994; ”
The effects of video game playing on attention, memory, and executive control. (2008, background): “Previous research found Tetris improved some spatial skills (De Lisi & Wolford, 2002; Sims & Mayer, 2002), but Tetris experience did not appear to transfer beyond those specific tasks as much as MOH did.”
Removing brakes on adult brain plasticity: from molecular to behavioral interventions (2010, background): “…and decision making to cite a few, illustrating the powerful effect of action game play in reshaping the adult brain (Gagnon, 1985; Dorval and Pépin, 1986; Greenfield et al., 1994; De Lisi and Wolford, 2002; Green and Bavelier, 2006; Quaiser-Pohl et al., 2006; Greenfield, 2009; Li et al., 2009b).”
Characteristics of Boys' and Girls' Toys (2005, methodology): “We attempted to include every imaginable type of contemporary toy, except for electronic toys such as video games, because extensive research has been done and continues to be done on the characteristics and impact of video and computer games (e.g., Anderson & Bushman, 2001; Cassell & Jenkins, 1998;”
