The Effects of Playing Educational Video Games on Kindergarten Achievement.
Din, Feng S.; Calao, Josephine
Child Study Journal, v31 n2 p95-102 2001
Investigated whether kindergarten students who played Sony PlayStation educational video games for 40 minutes daily for 11 weeks learned better than peers who did not play such games. Found that the experimental group gained significantly more than the control group in spelling and decoding on the Wide Range Achievement Test-R3. Found no difference in the mathematics area.
