Early childhood is the most important and rapid period of development in a human life as it is a period where the maturation of the brain and the central nervous system take place. In fact, researchers have established some theories and several studies indicating the relationship between brain maturity and learning disabilities. Nonetheless, when academic problems are present, therapy intervention approaches often consider the stimulation of sensory-motor functions as a key to help children reinforce their weaknesses. The configuration of goal-oriented for sensory integration therapy, however, is time-consuming and based on the expertise of the therapist’s clinical eye. Considering this, we approached a special education institution and conducted a 5-month user-centered design study to understand practices on supportive learning therapy, and evaluated the impact on children’s behavior after their interaction with a serious game aiming to stimulate sensory functions. Our findings indicate the serious game affected positively the children’s basic learning mechanisms (BLMs), by reinforcing balance, visual-motor, memory, attention, and spatial awareness abilities while interacting with the serious game. Therapists and parents informed about improvement with the engagement on therapy and home activities, and posture and calmness to complete scholar assignments. Future developments would consider improvements on gameplay, as well as accessible resources to inform therapists about children’s achievements in order to support therapy interventions.

针对基本学习机制的严肃游戏:增强墨西哥儿童的总体运动技能和注意力

幼儿期是人类生命中最重要,最迅速的发展时期,因为它是大脑和中枢神经系统成熟的时期。实际上,研究人员已经建立了一些理论和一些研究来表明大脑成熟与学习障碍之间的关系。然而,当存在学术问题时,治疗干预方法通常将刺激感觉运动功能视为帮助儿童增强其弱点的关键。然而,基于目标的感觉统合疗法的配置是耗时的,并且要基于治疗师临床眼的专业知识。考虑到这一点,我们联系了一家特殊的教育机构,并进行了为期5个月的以用户为中心的设计研究,以了解支持学习疗法的实践,并评估了他们与旨在刺激感觉功能的严肃游戏互动后对儿童行为的影响。我们的研究结果表明,严肃游戏通过与严肃游戏互动时增强平衡,视觉运动,记忆,注意力和空间感知能力,对儿童的基本学习机制(BLM)产生了积极影响。治疗师和父母告知他们在参与治疗和家庭活动,姿势和镇静方面的进步,以完成学者的作业。未来的发展将考虑改善游戏玩法,以及可获取的资源,以告知治疗师儿童的成就,以支持治疗干预措施。我们的研究结果表明,严肃游戏通过与严肃游戏互动时增强平衡,视觉运动,记忆,注意力和空间感知能力,对儿童的基本学习机制(BLM)产生了积极影响。治疗师和父母告知他们在参与治疗和家庭活动,姿势和镇静方面的进步,以完成学者的作业。未来的发展将考虑改善游戏玩法,以及可获取的资源,以告知治疗师儿童的成就,以支持治疗干预措施。我们的研究结果表明,严肃的游戏通过与严肃游戏互动时增强平衡,视觉运动,记忆,注意力和空间意识的能力,对儿童的基本学习机制(BLM)产生了积极的影响。治疗师和父母告知他们在参与治疗和家庭活动,姿势和镇静方面的进步,以完成学者的作业。未来的发展将考虑改善游戏玩法,以及可获取的资源,以告知治疗师儿童的成就,以支持治疗干预措施。治疗师和父母告知他们在参与治疗和家庭活动,姿势和镇静方面的进步,以完成学者的作业。未来的发展将考虑改善游戏玩法,以及可获取的资源,以告知治疗师儿童的成就,以支持治疗干预措施。治疗师和父母告知他们在参与治疗和家庭活动,姿势和镇静方面的进步,以完成学者的作业。未来的发展将考虑改善游戏玩法,以及可获取的资源,以告知治疗师儿童的成就,以支持治疗干预措施。
