ABSTRACT

In recent years, the impact of games on children’s behavior has become one of the most hotly debated topics in psychology. Looking back in time, the video game industry is one of the most rapidly growing segments of the entertainment industry, with video games of all genres becoming the most popular form of entertainment. Children are one of the most important participants in the industry, and their influence on them cannot be overstated. Researchers discovered that interactive and educational video games and apps had a positive effect on children’s brain development. However, violent and solely entertaining media had a negative impact on the brain development of children.
