Question

Steven F. Greul writes that a study published in June 2010 concluded that playing a violent video game for only _____ caused a decrease in brain activity in a region of the frontal lobe that is known to be important in the ability to inhibit impulsive behavior.

Answer 1

Answer:

Steven F. Greul writes that a study published in June 2010 concluded that playing a violent video game for only 30 minutes caused a decrease in brain activity in a region of the frontal lobe that is known to be important in the ability to inhibit impulsive behavior.

Explanation:

Steven F. Gruel is an attorney who defends the idea that violent video games shouldn't be played by children. According to Gruel, studies have proven the existence of a connection between violent video games and impulsive behavior. Playing a violent video game, concluded one of those studies, for 30 minutes is already enough to reduce brain activity in the frontal lobe. However, more recent studies defend the idea that violent games have only a short-term influence over children.
