The conclusion best supported by the information in the passage is: Educational video games can enhance specific cognitive abilities.
Scientists have long debated whether video games have positive or negative effects on young minds. A recent study conducted at Stanford University tracked 500 students ages 12-15 who played educational video games for 30 minutes daily. After six months, researchers found that these students showed improved problem-solving abilities and scored 15% higher on logical reasoning tests compared to the control group. However, students who played action-based games showed no significant improvement in these areas. This suggests that the type of video game, rather than gaming itself, may determine its impact on cognitive development. Which conclusion is best supported by the information in the passage?
