| == Game-based learning stimulates the frontal brain ==
| | You are now part of a new Management Team tasked with taking over the Emerald Forest Hotel. Your mission is to manage the hotel, enhance its current operations, and deliver significant improvements compared to previous years. You will have access to last year's performance results and the decisions that shaped them, providing a valuable reference point. Remember, you are competing against other Management Teams who share the same starting position. This is your opportunity to showcase your skills in management, creativity, finance, and marketing, with guidance from your coaches. Seize this chance to stand out! |
| Interesting and important studies on Game Based Learning by Kober e.a. Inclusion of game elements in learning environments to increase motivation and learning outcome is becoming increasingly popular. However, underlying mechanisms of game-based learning have not been studied sufficiently yet. In the present study, we investigated effects of game-based learning environments on a neurofunctional level. In particular, 59 healthy adults completed a game-based version (including game elements such as a narrative and virtual incentives) as well as a non-game-based version of a number line estimation task, to improve fractional knowledge, while their brain activity was monitored using near-infrared spectroscopy. Behavioral performance was comparable across the two versions, although there was a tendency that less errors were made in the game-based version. However, subjective user experience differed significantly between versions. Participants rated the game-based version as more attractive, novel, and stimulating but less efficient than the non-game-based version. Additionally, positive affect was reported to be higher while engaging in the game-based as compared to the non-game-based task version. Corroborating these user reports, we identified increased brain activation in areas associated with emotion and reward processing while playing the game-based version, which might be driven by rewarding elements of the game-based version. Moreover, frontal areas associated with attention were also more activated in the game-based version of the task. Hence, we observed converging evidence on a user experience and neurofunctional level indicating that the game-based version was more rewarding as well as emotionally and attentionally engaging. These results underscore the potential of game-based learning environments to promote more efficient learning by means of attention and reward up-tuning.
