The brain adapts to better deal with what it is exposed to.
Of course an animal raised in an intense environment will handle it better than one that isn't, and have some difficulty with calmer environments. The reverse is also true.
It doesn't surprise me that children used to the quick pacing and interesting stories found in television and games have trouble focusing in slower environments, such as school.
It's easy to jump to the conclusion that children should be raised without television or games, but I think we should also experiment more engaging means of education.
