Learning provider Litmos Heroes also uncovers that over 30% of UK businesses have done nothing to meet the new EU regulations, which come into force in May 2018.
In this blog post, Dr. David Chandross reveals some new data from recent studies into using gamification and game-based learning in addiction medicine.
In this review we have attempted to organize the voluminous data on how gamification affects neurochemistry and its outcomes in behavioural studies. It is clear that simple, engagement-based game systems do little, if anything to influence the outcome of training. Games which utilize variables we have discussed in this review are anticipated to show a higher rate of return on training and to further create a more cohesive and caring work environment.
In this edition we are going to introduce you to the research on video games and neuroscience to lay the ground for more substantive analysis of gamification. Given that game-based learning is a blend of game design and instructional design, it is only rational that we familiarize ourselves with both of these fields. We had some good conversations emerge from our last blog entry on DNP suppression, VS stimulation and dopaminergic drip models so we want to get you thinking about this more.
The key areas that gamification affects in the brain are the default mode processing nodes, the ventral striatum and the dopaminergic pathways. The default node processing (DNP) studies are completed using fMRI, an imaging technique that shows the brain activity that occurs when we are not focused. Gamification progressively deactivates default processing by focusing attention. The more we game, and hence, the more uncertainty we have during learning, the more this deactivation takes place.
