I know I feel more smarter already.

Is station spinning and staring at a POS field considered action gaming?

Is it that "action video games improves inference" or possibly that people who are better adept at doing so are also better at playing video games? Thus more likely to enjoy the task. Basically correlation does not imply causation as this article seems to denote IMO.

good question.. I didn't notice if it said the measurement was taken over time on two groups or if it was just two groups compared.

Is EVE an action game?

Of course if you are playing games you make become smarter, but the time spent playing games could be spent doing other stuff that would also improve yourself. Opportunity costs and stuff.
