Abstract

Strong learning in individuals addicted to video games reflects an intensified form of learning characterized by heightened reinforcement and cognitive processing associated with gaming behavior. This short note explores the concept of strong learning in the context of video game addiction, highlighting its implications for behavior reinforcement, cognitive biases, and maladaptive gaming patterns. By examining the mechanisms underlying strong learning, we gain insights into the addictive nature of video games and inform strategies for prevention, intervention, and support for individuals affected by gaming addiction.
