    They have the causal relation backwards, people with superior decision-making skills just choose to play video games

    The brain can be exercised and improved like a muscle. If you are doing that with all of your free time then you will be better at the skills you practiced.

    Decision making is a near constant action you take in videogames, ergo decision making tends to improve. Games are entirely decision making and any test for decision making will be similar to a game.

    This should be incredibly obvious but apparently it's not.

    See, superior decision-making skills doesn't mean you make better decisions, it means you make stupid ones faster
