This exploratory study investigated behavioral and neural correlates of spatial reasoning in 21 children aged 6-12 years-old during educational video game play. Behavioral measures included child performance in learning the concept during the pretest, practice, and posttest portions of the game. Neural correlates using electroencephalography…

Kim, Yoon Jeon; Knowles, Mariah A.; Scianna, Jennifer; Lin, Grace; Ruipérez-Valiente, José A. – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2023
Game-based assessment (GBA), a specific application of games for learning, has been recognized as an alternative form of assessment. While there is a substantive body of literature that supports the educational benefits of GBA, limited work investigates the validity and generalizability of such systems. In this paper, we describe applications of…

Plass, Jan L.; Homer, Bruce D.; MacNamara, Andrew; Ober, Teresa; Rose, Maya C.; Pawar, Shashank; Hovey, Chris M.; Olsen, Alvaro – Grantee Submission, 2019
What is the affective quality of specific design features of game characters? The Integrative Model of Emotion in Game-based Learning (EmoGBL) describes common mechanisms of how emotion and learning processes interact to foster specific learning outcomes. In the present paper, we asked how color, shape, expression, and dimensionality of game…

Hao, Kuang-Chung; Lee, Lai-Chung – Interactive Learning Environments, 2021
This study developed four AR games and investigated their influence on learning in a Grade 5 English course by integrating theories of digital game-based learning, the attention relevance confidence-satisfaction (ARCS) model, and different types of digital games. Moreover, the elements between AR game design and the ARCS model were examined. 147…
