About

This study was conducted to compare the cognitive skills, dual-task and physical activity status of individuals who play problem video games and healthy individuals, and to determine how much these skills are affected. The cognitive skills of individuals with video game playing problems and the control group were evaluated with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test, the Trail Making Test A & B sections, and the Stroop test. I evaluated dual tasks with 10-meter walking test (single-double task) and Time Up and Go Test (single-double task). Physical activity levels were evaluated by International Physical Active Questionnaire. The average cognitive skills, dual tasks, and physical activity levels of the individuals in both groups were compared.
