Estudio: Los juegos arruinan el cerebro de los niños

Children under seven should be kept away from videogames, a new study claimed.

Educational psychologist, Jane Healy, explained that "the rapid pace of computer games is only stimulating basic "fight or flight" sections of the brain rather than parts responsible for higher reasoning". This, she concludes, makes their brains develop differently and can be linked to a rise in the diagnosis of attention-deficit disorder in children.

"If you watch kids on a computer, most of them are just hitting keys or moving the mouse as fast as they can. It really reminds me of rats running in a maze," said Jane Healy.
