[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot talk to video games specifically BUT when I doodle and take bites during working meetings it helps me concentrate on what is being said. Sitting in an auditorium or meeting just listening without the ability to do that results in less retention of the information. I believe there are studies on doodling. I will also say that when working on projects that require a lot of creative problem solving (tech R&D and consulting/PM world) I need distraction to push through. It’s like writers block or something. My guess is that your kid may able to zone out playing the video game, so that he can open up his mind to listening to his teacher. I have doubts about this ability with video games though for multiple reasons and shut down my kids when they tried to do that (because they actually were not focusing on class), but I wouldn’t rule it out the possibility. If it is a “mindless” game, I think it could work.[/quote] Bites = notes [/quote]
