Damn! Now I have to get rid of my consoles! Beqi Send a noteboard - 19/03/2010 12:31:22 AM
A few years back I noticed the effect video games on my son's performance in school. As soon as I cut out weekday playing his performance was amazingly improved. I went further to cut out all TV time on weekdays for him too. It seemed to us that it overstimulated him and made it difficult for him to focus. It would have been interesting to see what the girls would have done. If they really would chose other activities. I know I played on the Nintendo more than I ever did homework.

Hah. Not a very convincing sample size there. lord-of-shadow - 16/03/2010 11:54:44 PM 1049 Views

1500 data points are not needed to be representative. everynametaken - 03/04/2010 05:31:51 AM 1228 Views
Actually an N=30 is sufficient to produce a normal curve and minimize error. everynametaken - 03/04/2010 05:26:27 AM 1272 Views
And anyway, any null hypothesis can be rejected with a large enough sample size. Burr - 10/04/2010 03:49:41 AM 1145 Views

why should you get rid of your consoles? LadyLorraine - 19/03/2010 03:07:38 AM 931 Views
The words "video game" can be replaced by anything with the same result. Mats Gambling Buddy - 19/03/2010 05:54:51 AM 1036 Views

well if your parents never buy you new games... LadyLorraine - 19/03/2010 12:36:08 PM 948 Views
+1 for misspelling the phrase per se. Apparently Yahoo has now corrected that error. *NM* Ghavrel - 21/03/2010 09:23:04 PM 493 Views
That's pretty stupid. Type of game is very important. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 23/03/2010 03:47:16 PM 1105 Views
