Performance on the Simon task was considerably better in the group who played video games frequently, suggesting that gaming improves executive control (see also Bialystok, 2006). Similary, Green and Bavelier (2003) have shown that playing action video games modifies visual selective attention. Whatever mental havoc excessive gaming may cause, apparently there are beneficial effects on cognition as well. What this result also demonstrates is that there are other ways to become an expert in inhibitory control than having the good fortune to grow up in a bilingual home.
