Tafoya, Dennis W. – Simulation and Games, 1979
Describes a simulation exercise designed to illustrate the effects of incentives on individual and group behavior. Examination of game-generated data suggests that the schemes affect both individual and group behavior. (Author/CMV)

Miller, Larry D. – Simulation and Games, 1979
This experiential learning activity highlights the perceptual processes that transpire between two interactants. Participants attempt to match other participants with their prime concern when interacting with someone socially for the first time. Illustrative data from a sample game are presented and discussed.

Klabbers, Jan – Simulation and Games, 1980
Discusses general structure and specification guidelines for interactive simulation/games, which include development of a computer simulation model, embedding the model in an interactive simulation, and embedding the simulation in a game. An outline following these guidelines is presented for the development of DENTIST, a dental health care…

Diehl, B. J. – Simulation and Games, 1979
The current level of simulation and game (SG) research and development activity in Australia is limited compared with levels in America and England; but Australian interest in SG is rapidly increasing, especially due to the recent formation of the Australian Decision-Simulation and Educational Gaming Association.

Norton, Robert W. – Simulation and Games, 1979
This game focuses on techniques for identifying coalitions or subgroups within larger social systems; and generates a wealth of data that not only serve to dramatize social dynamics, but also can be used to identify the structure of coalitions and the degree to which particular individuals exert interpersonal influence.

Jones, Marshall B. – Simulation and Games, 1984
Briefly describes the characteristics of video games and discusses some advantages and disadvantages of their use to measure individual abilities. Relevant research is cited in the areas of stabilization with practice, predictive testing, performance testing, testing under extreme conditions, testing brain-injured persons, and differential…
