Assessing Motivational Strategies in Serious Games Using Hidden Markov Models

چکیده
Recent research has extended tutor strategies to model not just interventions to offer information and activities, but also interventions to support learners’ wills and motivation. It is important to investigate new ways, intertwined with learners’ performance (successful completion of tasks) and judgement (self-report questionnaires), for evaluating tutor intervention strategies. One promising way is the use of physiological sensors. Within this paper, we study some motivational strategies that were implemented in a serious game called HeapMotiv to support learners’ performance and motivation. We build several hidden Markov models which use Keller’s ARCS model of motivation and electrophysiological data (heart rate HR, skin conductance SC and EEG) and are able to identify physiological patterns correlated with different motivational strategies.

Due to the effective role of Markov models in customer relationship management (CRM), there is a lack of comprehensive literature review which contains all related literatures. In this paper the focus is on academic databases to find all the articles that had been published in 2011 and earlier. One hundred articles were identified and reviewed to find direct relevance for applying Markov models...
متن کاملAssessment of Learners' Motivation during Interactions with Serious Games: A Study of Some Motivational Strategies in Food-Force
This study investigated motivational strategies and the assessment of learners‟ motivation during serious game play. Identifying and intelligently assessing the effects that these strategies may have on learners are particularly relevance for educational computer-based systems. We proposed, therefore, the use of physiological sensors, namely heart rate, skin conductance, and electroencephalogra...

The problem of analyzing temporally ordered sequences of observations generated by molecular, physiological or psychological processes to make predictions about the outcome of these processes arises in many domains of clinical informatics. In this paper, we focus on predicting the outcome of patient-provider communication sequences in the context of the clinical dialog. Specifically, we conside...
