The games psychologists play (and the data they provide)
Computer games and the technologies marketed to support them provide unique resources for psychological research. In contrast to the sterility, simplicity, and artificiality that characterizes many cognitive tests, game-like tasks can be complex, ecologically valid, and even fun. In the present paper, the history of psychological research with video games is reviewed, and several thematic ...

Computer Games for Learning : An Evidence-Based Approach
A comprehensive and up-to-date investigation of what research shows about the educational value of computer games for learning. Many strong claims are made for the educational value of computer games, but there is a need for systematic examination of the research evidence that might support such claims. This book fills that need by providing, a ...
What has the study of digital games contributed to the science of
1 Introduction. I recently (2016) participated in a reunion event that was part of the 100 th Anniversary celebration for the founding of the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) psychology Department. Around the time I attended graduate school (1969-1974) that department was a trailblazer for the newly initiated field of cognitive psychology (the term popularized by Ulric Neisser's new text ...
