Theory (CLT) to the design and analysis of mobile games, focusing on how game mechanics, narrative structures, and visual stimuli impact players' cognitive load during gameplay. The study investigates how high levels of cognitive load can hinder learning outcomes and gameplay performance, especially in complex puzzle or strategy games. By combining cognitive psychology and game design theory, the paper develops a framework for balancing intrinsic, extraneous, and germane cognitive load in mobile game environments. The research offers guidelines for developers to optimize user experiences by enhancing mental performance and reducing cognitive fatigue.</p> <a href="https://blog-affotvere.mit-edu.top/post/9287160453" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/10.jpg" alt="Adaptive Interface Design for Cross-Platform Mobile Games: An Empirical Evaluation" title="Adaptive Interface Design for Cross-Platform Mobile Games: An Empirical Evaluation" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Ann Gonzales</strong> <span>2025-02-09 published post</span> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="post-entry d-md-flex small-horizontal mb-5"> <div class="me-md-5 thumbnail mb-3 mb-md-0"> <a href="https://blog-affotvere.mit-edu.top/post/3017269485"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/18.jpg" alt="Hybrid Reinforcement Learning Models for Adaptive NPC Behavior in Mobile Games" title="Hybrid Reinforcement Learning Models for Adaptive NPC Behavior in Mobile Games" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-3017269485.mit-edu.top/post/3017269485/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-09</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-affotvere.mit-edu.top/post/3017269485">Hybrid Reinforcement Learning Models for Adaptive NPC Behavior in Mobile Games</a></h2> <p class="info">This study investigates the impact of mobile gaming on neuroplasticity and brain development, focusing on how playing games affects cognitive functions such as memory, attention, spatial navigation, and problem-solving.
