In this article, Isabela Granic explores the benefits surrounding video games for children. She finds that through playing video games, four separate domains of child development are amplified: cognitive, motivational, emotional, and social. She also cites different video games that are directly attempting to teach children useful skills later in life, such as surgical techniques.
