Online games can serve as research instruments to explore the effects of game design elements on motivation and learning. In our research, we manipulated an online math investigate effect challenge player To test \'1cInverted-U Hypothesis\'1d, which predicts that maximum engagement will occur with moderate challenge, produced two large-scale (10K 70K subjects), multi-factor (2x3 2x9x8x4x25) experiments. We found that, in almost all cases, subjects were more engaged played longer when was...
Background: Cognitive behavioral therapy is an efficacious treatment for child anxiety disorders. Although efficacious, many children (40%-50%) do not show a significant reduction in symptoms or full recovery from primary diagnoses. One possibility that they are unwilling to learn and practice cognitive skills beyond sessions. This can occur variety of reasons, including lack motivation, forgetfulness, understanding. Mobile health (mHealth) gamification provides potential solution improve...
Many game designers aim to optimize difficulty make games that are "not too hard, not easy." However, recent experiments have shown even moderate can reduce player engagement. The present work investigates other design factors may account for the purported benefits of difficulty, such as choice, novelty and suspense. These were manipulated in three involving over 20,000 play sessions an online educational game.
Energy feedback systems, particularly residential energy systems (REFS), have emerged as a key area for HCI and interaction design. However, we argue that researchers, designers others concerned with the design evaluation of interactive should more strongly consider ineffectiveness such including not only potential limitations specific types REFS or in general but also potentially counterproductive harmful effects REFS. In this paper outline research questions issues future work based on...
Classical theories of harmony have been used to explain phenomena like beauty, happiness, health, virtue, pleasure, peace, and even ecological sustainability. With the intent making these more accessible designers, this article reviews conception from about 500 BCE present. It begins with a brief overview in classical Chinese Greek philosophy. Then it examines role renaissance, scientific revolution, early modern period across topics aesthetics, ethics, physics, politics, economics. Finally,...

Abstract Background Readability metrics provide us with an objective and efficient way to assess the quality of educational texts. We can use readability measures for finding assessment items that are difficult read a given grade level. Hard‐to‐read math word problems put some students at disadvantage if they behind in their literacy learning. Despite abilities, these perform poorly on difficult‐to‐read because poor reading skills. Less readable tests create equity issues who relatively new...

Naturalistic music typically contains repetitive musical patterns that are present throughout the song. These form a signature, enabling effortless song recognition. We investigate whether neural responses corresponding to these also serve as recognition of later segments on learning initial segments. examine EEG encoding naturalistic employing NMED-T and MUSIN-G datasets. Experiments reveal (a) training machine classifiers 20s segment enables accurate prediction from remaining segments; (b)...
Electroencephalography (EEG) enables online monitoring brain activity, which can be used for neurofeedback. One of the growing applications EEG neurofeedback is to facilitate meditation practice. Specifically, alert participants whenever they get distracted during practice based on changes in their activity. In this study, we develop machine learning models detect moments distraction (due mind wandering or drowsiness) using signals. We use data 24 while performing a breath focus with...
