Direct linkYoung, Michael F.; Slota, Stephen T.; Lai, Benedict – Review of Educational Research, 2012
In large measure the authors agree with Tobias and Fletcher's (2012) comments stating that clearer operational definitions of game features are needed to enable research on games and learning. The authors cannot accept that games are a subset of simulations, preferring to identify instances when games and simulations overlap and when they do not.…

Cecchini, Arnaldo; Frisenna, Adriana – Simulation/Games for Learning, 1987
Reviews the problems of classifying gaming techniques and suggests a heuristic approach as one solution. Definitions of simulation, models, role, and game and play are discussed to help develop a classification based on a technique called gaming simulation. (Author/LRW)
