According to the new study, young boys who receive their first video game system don't progress as quickly in school as boys who don't have such gaming devices. That means, parents who worry about their kids addicted to video games might be right.

The study was published last week in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.

The average reading and writing scores of the young gamers don't go down, but they don't improve either as study found.
