While conducting research in 2010, Dr. Cheryl Olson from Masschusetts General Hospital found that playing video games, "helps children learn to make decisions, use strategies, and anticipate consequences." In this way, video games offer children valuable opportunities to practice and sharpen their problem solving skills.

What is the claim in this example?

Taking notes by hand is better for students' overall academic performance than taking notes on a computer. A study published in the journal Psycological Science found that students who handwrote their notes during class gained a deeper understanding of new material than students who typed their notes. This study suggests that students are better served by writing out their notes, rather than typing them.

What is the claim in this example?

By teaching computer programming classes, schools set their students up for professional success. Specifically, knowing how to write code can provide a young person with many job opportunities. For example, the Atlantic reported that, in 2013, "information technology was one of the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields with the most job postings in the U.S. Clearly, by offering coding courses, schools can help their students take advantage of this trend.
