Published: January 2021

This paper provides a theory-based critique and response to the Giannakas et al. [, 341-384 (2018). 10.1007/s11423-015-9396-3] critical review of mobile game-based learning. Within the framework of shifting-to-digital, the response discusses impact/value of the paper, possible application of the ideas found in the paper, limitations and constraints associated with the paper, and future suggestion for how the ideas in the paper should guide design and research.

Natural disasters cause significant losses. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are valuable in rescue missions but need to offload tasks to edge servers due to their limited computing power and battery life. This study proposes a task offloading decision algorithm called the multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient with cooperation and experience replay (CER-MADDPG), which is based on multi-agent reinforcement learning for UAV computation offloading.

Personalized Game-Based Content and Performance: A Pilot Study on a Digital Intervention for Children with ADHD.

Bioengineering (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Psychiatry, School of Medicine, Keimyung University, Daegu 42601, Republic of Korea.

Mobile-based digital interventions for children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been developed to alleviate their symptoms. When developing mobile game-based digital interventions for ADHD treatment, it is important to research how the emotional responses of the target audience members-based on flashy visuals or difficulty adjustments to motivate the user-affect their content manipulation ability. This study performed a correlation analysis to examine the impact of perceived difficulty and enjoyment (interest) on the performance of children diagnosed with ADHD while engaging in game-based digital content.

Although cognitive training has been proposed as a possible therapeutic modality for mild cognitive impairment (MCI), most serious games focus on specific tasks. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of narrative video game-based cognitive intervention for MCI. A four-week (± 1-week) mobile game intervention was given to 17 MCI participants (mean age (SD) = 72.
