Gameplay Bricks Model, a Theoretical Framework to Match Game Mechanics and Cognitive Functions (Broacasting our studies)
This article investigated whether it is possible to establish correspondences between game mechanics and particular cognitive stimulations. There are many challenges to prevent and treat cognitive decline with aging or neurocognitive disease. Observing difficulties to establish such correspondences in the scientific literature, we proposed to move away from “classification by genre” or any other type of taxonomy that deviates from the framework of the “Rules/Formal schemas&rdqu [...]Keywords : video games, serious games, game mechanics, cognitive functions, executive functions

Skill assessment in learning experiences based on serious games: A systematic mapping study (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractSerious games are games with an educational purpose. In these games, players develop their skills by facing a number of challenges, and students are assessed according to their game playing behaviour. Assessment of serious game-based learning experiences has to take into account diverse features as game genre, pedagogical aim or game context.

A Paradigm for the Development of Serious Games for Health as Benefit Delivery Systems (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract—Serious games are developed with the purpose of bestowing a benefit on the user. That benefit could be related to the user’s health, education, safety or efficiency. We propose that the mechanism that the game employs to achieve such a benefit should be identified as the key to the development of a successful serious game. We introduce a paradigm for the design and development of serious games as benefit delivery systems. We suggest that the paradigm can apply to all applica [...]Keywords : Serious game, Health, Health game, Healthcare
