The Effect of Video Game Play Technique on Pain of Venipuncture in Children

Background The present study was designed and conducted to determine the effect of video game play on pain of venipuncture in 3-6 year-old children. Materials and Methods This randomized controlled trial study was conducted on 80 hospitalized children with pain of venipuncture procedures. Playing a video computer game for children during the venipuncture procedures was the intervention for the ...

"Gamic Realism": Player, Perception and Action in Video Game Play

This paper explores a phenomenological approach to the video game medium, in order to argue that realism in video games is dependent on the player’s embodied experience of play as opposed to mimetic representation. My paper discusses the relation of the player, and specifically the player’s body, to the idea of realism in video games. Chris Crawford wrote in 1982 that “games represent a subset ...

An action video game modifies visual processing.

In a recent paper, Shawn Green and Daphne Bavelier show that playing an action video game markedly improved subjects performance on a range of visual skills related to detecting objects in briefly flashed displays. This is noteworthy as previous studies on perceptual learning, which have commonly focused on well-controlled and rather abstract tasks, found little transfer of learning to novel st...
