How Exergaming with Virtual Reality Enhances Specific Cognitive and Visuo-Motor Abilities: An Explorative Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Grosprêtre, Sidney; Marcel-Millet, Philémon; Eon, Pauline; Wollesen, Bettina – Cognitive Science, 2023
Virtual reality (VR) is the computer simulation of a three-dimensional environment that a person can interact with using special electronic equipment, such as a headset with an integrated display. Often coupled with VR, exergames are video games that involve physical exercise. Little is known regarding the chronic effects of exergaming through VR…

Moron, Victória Branca; Barbosa, Débora Nice Ferrari; Sanfelice, Gustavo Roese; Barbosa, Jorge Luis Victória; Leithardt, Daiana R. F.; Leithardt, Valderi Reis Quietinho – Education Sciences, 2022
Studies show that executive functions and motor development are associated with each other and with learning ability. A more technological lifestyle combined with digital culture should be considered a viable alternative to stimulate children's development. Therefore, this study aimed to present a systematic mapping of the literature involving…

Physical Activity Break Program to Improve Elementary Students' Executive Function and Mathematics Performance
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Layne, Todd; Yli-Piipari, Sami; Knox, Tony – Education 3-13, 2021
The study examined the effectiveness of a 4-week classroom-based, technology-assisted physical activity break program on elementary students' reaction time, response inhibition control, and mathematics performance. Participants included 40 (8-9-year-old) elementary school students located in the mid-south United States (US) who were…

Replicated Evidence towards a Cognitive Theory of Game-Based Training
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Parong, Jocelyn; Wells, Ashleigh; Mayer, Richard E. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
Executive function is the set of cognitive skills needed for goal directed behavior and is a strong predictor of academic success (Best, 2014). The present study examines the effectiveness of a custom video game designed to train the executive function skill of shifting--being able to efficiently shift attention from 1 task to another. In…

Improving Cognition in School Children and Adolescents through Exergames. A Systematic Review and Practical Guide
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
López-Serrano, Sebastián; Ruiz-Ariza, Alberto; De La Torre-Cruz, Manuel; Martínez-López, Emilio J. – South African Journal of Education, 2021
Recent studies and reviews have shown the positive effects of exergames (EXs) on physical activity (PA) and fitness in children and adolescents. Nevertheless, their effects on cognition have been scarcely explored, and no previous review has focussed on this relationship. The purpose of the research reported on here was to analyse the acute and…

The Effect of Adaptive Difficulty Adjustment on the Effectiveness of a Game to Develop Executive Function Skills for Learners of Different Ages
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Plass, Jan L.; Homer, Bruce D.; Pawar, Shashank; Brenner, Corinne J.; MacNamara, Andrew P. – Grantee Submission, 2019
Research suggests that gains in executive function (EF) skills training are strongest when task difficulty increases progressively, yet findings on the effectiveness of adaptive approaches for EF training are inconsistent. This study compared the effectiveness of an adaptive vs a non-adaptive version of a digital game designed to train the EF…
