have a detrimental effect on an individual's GPA and possibly on SAT scores. Although these
results show statistical dependence, proving cause and effect remains difficult, since SAT
scores represent a single test on a given day. The effects of video games maybe be cumulative;
however, drawing a conclusion is difficult because SAT scores represent a measure of general
knowledge. GPA versus video games is more reliable because both involve a continuous
measurement of engaged activity and performance. The connection remains difficult because of
the complex nature of student life and academic performance. Also, video game usage may
simply be a function of specific personality types and characteristics.
