for contributing the article "Understanding the Role of Competence and Autonomy in Player Retention: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective". </p> <img

of Competence and Autonomy in Player Retention: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective" class="img-fluid rounded mb-4 lazyload"> <p>This paper explores the role of mobile games in advancing the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI) by simulating aspects of human cognition, such as decision-making, problem-solving, and emotional response. The study investigates how mobile games can serve as testbeds for AGI research, offering a controlled environment in which AI systems can interact with human players and adapt to dynamic, unpredictable scenarios. By integrating cognitive science, AI theory, and game design principles, the research explores how mobile games might contribute to the creation of AGI systems that exhibit human-like intelligence across a wide range of tasks. The study also addresses the ethical concerns of AI in gaming, such as fairness, transparency, and accountability.</p><p>This study applies social network analysis (SNA) to investigate the role of social influence and network dynamics in mobile gaming communities. It examines how social relationships, information flow, and peer-to-peer interactions within these communities shape player behavior, preferences, and engagement patterns. The research builds upon social learning theory and network theory to model the spread of gaming behaviors, including game adoption, in-game purchases, and the sharing of strategies and achievements. The study also explores how mobile games leverage social influence mechanisms, such as multiplayer collaboration and social rewards, to enhance player retention and lifetime value.</p><p>This paper investigates the impact of mobile gaming on attention span and cognitive load, particularly in relation to multitasking behaviors and the consumption of digital media. The research examines how the fast-paced, highly interactive nature of mobile games affects cognitive processes such as sustained attention, task-switching, and mental fatigue. Using experimental methods and cognitive psychology theories, the study analyzes how different types of mobile games, from casual games to action-packed shooters, influence players’ ability to focus on tasks and process information. The paper explores the long-term effects of mobile gaming on attention span and offers recommendations for mitigating negative impacts, especially in the context of educational and professional environments.</p><p>This study explores the impact of augmented reality (AR) technology on player immersion and interaction in mobile games. The research examines how AR, which overlays digital content onto the physical environment, enhances gameplay by providing more interactive, immersive, and contextually rich experiences. Drawing on theories of presence, immersion, and user experience, the paper investigates how AR-based games like Pokémon GO and Ingress engage players in real-world exploration, socialization, and competition. The study also considers the challenges of implementing AR in mobile games, including hardware limitations, spatial awareness, and player safety, and provides recommendations for developers seeking to optimize AR experiences for mobile game audiences.</p><p>The allure of virtual worlds is undeniably powerful, drawing players into immersive realms where they can become anything from heroic warriors wielding enchanted swords to cunning strategists orchestrating grand schemes of conquest and diplomacy. These virtual environments transcend the mundane, offering players a chance to escape into fantastical realms filled with mythical creatures, ancient ruins, and untold mysteries waiting to be uncovered. Whether embarking on epic quests to save the realm from impending doom or engaging in fierce PvP battles against rival factions, the appeal of stepping into a digital persona and shaping their destiny is a driving force behind the gaming phenomenon.</p> <p> <a href="/redirect/?url=https://blog-297941676712.mit-edu.top/post/3685712490" target="_blank" class="custom-link">Link</a> </p> <p><a
