An impressive result, if true: after eight weeks of gaming, reasoning scores were up 32 percent. Still, the result, reported in Newsweek, stretches credulity (it's placement as a product plug right before Christmas is suspicious). There's a lot of talk about brain plasticity, but if the result is believable, it's only because the children would have had almost no reasoning ability to begin with. Anyhow, the study won't be deemed relevant by the direct instruction crowd because the students don't learn anything on the test.
