Space Fortress as an Iq Test? Predictions of Learning and of Practised Performance in a Complex Interactive Video-game *
Claims that scores on pencil and paper IQ tests predict performance in easy laboratory perceptual motor rasks are weakened by methodological inadequacies. With an experimental design avoiding these weaknesses the AH 4 IQ test predicted rate of learning and performance after 5 days practice on ‘Space Fortress’ better than did age, between 18 and 36 years, or amount of previous experience at vide...
متن کاملiDMAa 2006: CODE Track Nine: Game Code Video Games as Learning Tools for Project Management
In this paper, we begin by discussing some of the statistics that reveal electronic gaming’s place as a major force in today’s economy. We next discuss two of the major problems involved with the usage of video games as a tool for teaching and learning in digital media: the issues of inconsistency and complexity. Gee’s pioneering work (2004) is used to establish some principles of gaming that t...
متن کاملModeling Millisecond Time Interval Estimation in Space Fortress Game
We investigated sources of the asymmetric bias found in estimation of a time interval (250-400 ms) embedded in the Space Fortress task (Donchin, 1989). Two hypotheses to explain this bias were tested in a behavioral experiment: 1) contamination from a different time interval representation, and 2) pressure to complete the task in time. Participants alternated between producing the target interv...
متن کاملVideo Games as a Multifaceted Medium: A Review of Quantitative Social Science Research on Video Games and a Typology of Video Game Research Approaches
• Much quantitative social science research has explored video games’ social impact using widely varied methods and approaches. • As light is sometimes studied as a wave and sometimes as a particle, video game research has used many perspectives. • It is difficult to compare some game research because studies often examine one social dimension of games while ignoring others. • Researchers explo...
