Description - Digital Games: a Context for Cognitive Development by Fran C. Blumberg
In the United States and in many other countries around the
world, digital games have become an integral part of
children?s lives. Discussions of research on youth and
digital games often focus solely on negative effects (e.g., of
violent video games), but this is far from the whole story. As
natural problem-solving activities, digital games provide a rich
context for applied cognition.
This volume explores topics such as:
The benefits of digital games for children and
adolescents? cognitive skills
The nature of their learning from educational media
The influence of developmental factors on their interactions
with digital games
The use of developmental research and established educational
practice to create effective educational games that they will
play.
This is the 139th volume in this series. Its mission
is to provide scientific and scholarly presentations on cutting
edge issues and concepts in child and adolescent development. Each
volume focuses on a specific new direction or research topic and is
edited by experts on that topic.
