Mobile Games Help Scientists Study Cognition
Impulsiveness and risk-taking behavior can be reliably measured with mobile games.
Impulsiveness and risk-taking behavior can be reliably measured with specifically designed mobile games, according to new research published in the journal PLOS ONE.
Researchers examined puzzles in The Great Brain Experiment app [iOS, Android] and found that each is a “serious scientific experiment” that reliably measures several areas of cognition including visual perception and memory.
The anonymous app lets participants send data back to researchers simply by playing the game; results from thousands of participants will help scientists examine individual and group differences in cognitive functioning.
