Background Traditional meta-analysis offers only direct comparative evidence. The optimal cognitive training for poststroke impairment (PSCI) remains largely undetermined. Objectives This study aims to assess and compare the effectiveness of selected methods PSCI patients identify rank most effective intervention programs. Methods Searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Science Technology Journal Database, Wanfang Biomedical Database randomized controlled trials up September 30, 2023. Two researchers independently performed literature screening, data extraction, quality assessment.

Abstract According to established background knowledge, playing is essential in human development and a power remediation tool clinical populations. In interventions, the beneficial roles of have often been sought investigated specific features game, rather than positive emotions generated by playing. However, regardless game specifications, cognitive enhancement could be driven linked play. Establishing causal connections between play should allow us determine how involve therapy, prevention educational programmes.

A critical review on the moderating role of contextual factors in the associations between video gaming and well-being

Computers in Human Behavior Reports, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 4, С. 100135 - 100135

The appeal of video gaming has undoubtedly withstood the test time. In view its increasing popularity, lay people and researchers alike have taken an interest in psychological consequences gaming. However, there seems to be a paradox associated with effect on gamers' well-being—namely, while most game players cite "fun" as their motivation play games, games continue hold notorious reputation among some for being detrimental mental health emotional well-being measured by indicators such happiness, perceived stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms. We suggest that significant contributor mixed literature is oversight contextual factors may moderate this relationship. current review highlights five important should considered when studying associations between frequency well-being. Specifically, we unless social context (who), type (what), (why), time day (when), amount (how much) activities are adequately considered, examinations outcomes relation will remain incomplete.

Media use, attention, mental health and academic performance among 8 to 12 year old children

PLoS ONE, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 16(11), С. e0259163 - e0259163

The rise in digital media consumption, especially among children, raises the societal question of its impact on cognition, mental health and academic achievement. Here, we investigate three different ways measuring technology use-—total hours consumed, video game play number used concurrently—-in 118 eight-to-twelve year-old children. At stake is whether uses have effects, which could explain some past mixed findings. We collected data about children’s as well (i) attentional behavioral control abilities, (ii) psychological distress, psychosocial functioning, sleep, (iii) achievement motivation. While abilities were assessed using both cognitive tests questionnaires, sleep all questionnaire-based. Finally, performance was based self-reported grades, with motivational variables being measured through grit growth-mindset questionnaires. present partial correlation analyses construct a network to assess structural associations between forms consumption categories measures. observe that children consume large amounts multitask substantially. Partial show multitasking specifically mostly correlated negative health, while playing games associated faster responding better health. No significant correlations observed for total media. Psychological analysis complement these first results by indicating consuming are only indirectly related grades. Thus, appear relate performance, more directly affecting This work emphasizes need differentiate if one understand how every day impacts human behavior.

Research on user experience of the video game difficulty based on flow theory and fNIRS

Behaviour and Information Technology, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 42(6), С. 789 - 805

Опубликована: Март 3, 2022

Difficulty balance in the game level design is particularly important for user experience (UX). This study uses cognitive control and flow theory as a starting point, based on functional near-infrared spectroscopy technology, this research obtained oxygenated hemoglobin concentration (ΔHbO2) signals from three brain areas prefrontal cortex (PFC), namely dorsolateral (DLPFC), ventral (VLPFC), frontal area (FPA). Combined with subjective state scale to explore reaction difference between video players (VGPs) non-video (NVGPs) during entire period of playing games moment difficulty changes. The results show that VGPs NVGPs have significant differences HbO2 different regions PFC. players' affected by difficulty.
