TL;DR: This article found that participants who described the robber were 25% worse at identifying the robber in a lineup than were participants who instead listed U.S. states and capitals, which has been termed the verbal overshadowing effect.

TL;DR: Video games are increasingly exposing young players to randomized in-game reward mechanisms, purchasable for real money — so-called loot boxes, which may constitute a form of gambling.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that prolonged video‐gaming may cause clinically significant disruption to adolescent sleep, even when sleep after video‐ gaming is initiated at normal bedtime, and physiological arousal may not necessarily be the mechanism by which technology use affects sleep.

TL;DR: Reanalyzed data from over 192,000 students in 22 countries involved in the 2009 Programme for International Student Assessment to estimate the true effect size of frequency of videogame use on adolescent academic achievement in science, mathematics and reading.

TL;DR: Investigation of the relationship between spending on loot boxes in video games and symptoms of problematic gambling in large cross-sectional cross-national samples from three countries indicates both some commonality in the mechanisms underlying, and independent contributions made by, these proposed diagnostic criteria.
