Abstract:   (430 Views)
Introduction: Games have demonstrated significant success when they are purposefully created to tackle particular issues or educational needs. Consequently, recent research has focused on exploring a background game that incorporates visual logic therapy. This investigation employs the methodology of examining brain rhythms and their alterations through visual behavior, leading to the development of a game known as Visual Game Therapy (VGT), which may offer therapeutic benefits. Materials and Methods: The method is exploratory-laboratory as well as descriptive-survey, which was tested with the design of the laboratory through the design of the web game of the subjects. After checking the ability of the game as a measurement tool through eye tracking and electroencephalography. A sample of 457 participants was recruited using the snowball sampling method. Key metrics analyzed included memory score index, image recognition score, and memory response time. Data collection and analysis were conducted online, with correlations between game performance and memory metrics evaluated using the Pearson Correlation test in the MINITAB 18 software environment. Results: The findings revealed a significant correlation between the number of game rounds completed and both the memory score and image recognition score, indicating that increased engagement with the game positively influenced these cognitive measures. However, no significant correlation was observed between memory response time and memory score. Conclusion: VGT offers significant potential for improving and strengthening memory. Their effectiveness is rooted in the integration of study-based approaches and carefully designed visual patterns, which have been shown to influence brainwave activity, particularly by enhancing Theta power.
