Investigating
Multi Player Online
Video Games
for Brain Injured People
Jason Colman

Hello
I'm Jason Colman
I'm a PhD student at the School of Computing,
University of Portsmouth, UK
My supervisors:
Dr Paul Gnanayutham
Dr Jim Briggs
Dr Louise Turner
Dr Alice Good

In this presentation...
I will describe a pilot experiment
designed to find out if a
multi-player online video game
could provide a form of cognitive therapy
for people who have a brain injury.

Hypothesis
The hypothesis is that

Multi-player online video games can provide
a form of cognitive therapy for brain-injured
people

Playing a
multi-player online
game could provide a
form of cognitive
therapy, due to the
social interactions
it fosters

Participants
Participants recruited from support groups
n = 3 brain-injured participants
10 Other volunteers

Experimental Design
Single subject (“n = 1”) research design
Time series data
The intervention is introduced, then removed
Each participant is their own control
Multiple participants improves external
validity

Integrated Cognitive Tests
Stroop tests

Trail-making tests

Reaction time test

Actual Results
There was an overall improvement in reaction
time, but not between “game” and “no
game” weeks
No consistent improvement in Stroop test or
Trail-Making test results in “game” weeks

Discussion
Tricky to get all participants logged in at the
same time
Tricky to recruit the participants who might
benefit most
Best values for experimental parameters are
not known

Next Steps
Recruit more participants
Maybe adjust experimental parameters, such
as phase duration
More game features to encourage
communication and collaboration
Different genres, which could be turn-based
Case studies

Last Word…
It is not easy to induce perceptual or
cognitive changes through video games…
(Green & Bavelier, 2006)
But it’s worth persevering, as the potential
gain is a new kind of therapy for braininjured people.

Thanks!
Hypothesis is Multi-player online video

Does playing video or computer games have beneficial effects on brain and behaviour? If so, does the evidence point to general improvements in cognitive function? Daphne Bavelier & C. Shawn Green. Although the popular media has a strong ten- dency to produce breathless headlines about the effects (or lack of effects) of video games, it is worth noting that the term ‘video games’ is far from a single construct and thus, has almost no scientific predictive power. One can no more say what the effects of video games are, than one can say what the effects of food are. There are millions of individual games, hundreds of distinct genres and sub- genres, and they can be played on computers, consoles, hand-held devices and cell phones. Simply put, if one wants to know what the effects of video games are, the devil is in the details. Studies that have examined perception and spatial cognition (from our lab and many others) have focused on one specific genre of games — the so-called ‘action’ video games. Indeed, playing this type of game results in a wide range of behavioural benefits, including enhancements in low-level vision, visual attention, speed of processing and statistical inference, among others. Furthermore, prop- erly controlled training studies have repeatedly demonstrated a causal link between video game playing and enhanced abilities. Hence, it is not just that people who naturally choose to play games have better perceptual skills. The ability to improve one’s abilities through practice has obvious practical ramifications, from rehabilitation of visual skills in individuals with amblyopia (also known as a ‘lazy eye’) to the training of surgeons. Doug Hyun Han & Perry F. Renshaw. The extent to which playing video and online games affects the brain and behaviour is uncertain. It is likely that the specific beneficial or harmful effects are determined by the char- acteristics of both the individual and of the game. Several studies have reported that video and on-line game play may improve visuo- spatial capacity, visual acuity, task switch- ing, decision making and object tracking in healthy individuals. However, methodological limitations to these studies have also been noted. For example, cross-sectional compari- sons of gamers and non-gamers may reflect baseline differences in cognitive abilities rather than the effects of game playing. Moreover, video game training studies that involve the recruitment of non-gamers and that provide game experience have not generally shown that gaming enhances performance on higher level reasoning and problem solving tasks. Michael M. Merzenich. The potential benefits that can be achieved through video-game play are, of course, a function of the specific task requirements, and of the cognitive and social demands and values represented by the game(s) in play. Games that require progressively more accurate and more challenging judgments ...

What are the benefits and risks of playing computer, console and mobile games? What is "computer game addiction"? What every gamer needs to know about healthy habits? What can serious/competitive gamers do outside of the game to enhance their performance in it? What should health-care and education professionals teach to families about digital games and health? (Note: references on the slides are intended as starting points to scientific literature; they are not comprehensive.)

Game designers continually create engaging, dynamic experiences for players. What if eLearning developers could take some of those ideas and techniques and apply them to our own eLearning design and development? Participants in this session will learn the five elements that game designers include in almost every game and that eLearning designers and developers can add to eLearning to make it more engaging and impactful. Based on the bestselling book The Gamification of Learning and Instruction, this session provides tips and techniques to make your eLearning an engaging, dynamic experience for your learners. You’ll learn how to create more engaging and interactive instruction based on the principles of game design without the cost or effort of creating an entire game.

Surface level observations of video game addiction and people who identify as “gamers” may lead to the assumption being made that this activity could lead to self imposed anti-social behaviour being exhibited. As a group we unanimously shared this opinion that increased video game consumption time would have a direct correlation to increased anti social behaviors being exhibited in the individual. We initially formed this idea around personal experience from observations of self identifying gamer friends of group members as well as from material and media presented during the 401 lecture including a documentary style film on video game addiction amongst adolescents in China and the extreme measures parents will take to “cure” their afflicted child. Video game access over a fairly recent and short amount of time has drastically changed, going from only being able to play video games on consoles at home or arcades to now being able to play high quality multiplayer games virtually anywhere on phones, tablets, and laptop computers at a moments notice. A byproduct of this change in video game accessibility has naturally lead to a huge increase in the number of people playing video games, along with changing the definition of what traditionally might be thought of as a video gamer. By having constant access to games on cell phones or other portable electronic devices the physical barriers that might have seperated someone from a game addiction or the ability to play video games in the past no longer exist. In addition to the ever increasing access to video games there has been an increase in quantity of games made specifically to addict or entice the player to continue to come back to the game to spend more and more time playing. This shift in game type and development has been and is increasingly pushed by subscription models and in game currencies to generate increased revenues for developers. These are just a few of the contributing factors we took into account when formulating our hypothesis on researching if there was any connection between video game consumption and antisocial behaviors. With these factors in mind we began to pursue options to best go about researching this link we had identified. Initially we had suspected there would have been a wealth of data and prior research done regarding anti social behavior and video game addiction but with further research we began to realize that while a number of recent studies all covered topics in this realm they only circled the central aspect of our topic and didn't explicitly go into depth on this suspected link. We did not get discouraged by this but instead became more empowered to use the resources we had available to conduct our own research and use the prior research that had been done to compare our methods and results against and act as a guide to find and remain on the correct heading in pursuit of uncovering some trut.
