In a recent Colloquium piece (BJET vol. 41, no. 6), the authors, two prominent professors of cognitive neuroscience, offered a critique of the study by Miller and Robertson (2010) (‘Using a games console in the primary classroom: Effects of “Brain Training” programme on computation and self-esteem’, BJET vol. 41, no. 2). We feel that we should correct some errors and misunderstandings and respond to the comments made in that piece. There are four substantive issues raised by Logie and Della Sala and we look at these in turn.
