MODERATORS
There've been studies saying this for a couple decades at least.
If those are desired results, what other activities produces the same result?
Lots of those benefits seems like they might be derived from playing certain video games. Assuming the peer-reviewed research supports that, shouldn't that be considered too?
So do video games.
Video games improve reading comprehension? I sincerely doubt it, considering how bad redditors and lemmings are at reading
Have there been? Link them.
Because I call bullshit on that
The thread op quoted a claim from the article, it isn't their claim
I'm not convinced. We learned cursive in like grade 2 or 3 or something and the rest of elementary school we had to do all assignments except for science and math in cursive with a ball point pen. I could do reading comprehension until an assignment asked what the characters were thinking and feeling then I lost marks. I even wrote to one of the still living authors of one of the books and they confirmed the teacher and my own opinions were both significantly different from what they intended but that didn't overturn my bad marks for lack of understanding. Fine motor skills I owe to my grandma's arts and crafts and video games she kept when my uncle grew up and left so I can't really say for that. It didn't do anything about being picked last in team sports but would that be coarse motor skills? Apart from the 2.5 savant syndrome kids we were all dumb as fuck but at least we could read and write cursive.
