Tom Chatfield: 7 ways video games engage the brain
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDtalksDirector on Nov 1, 2010
http://www.ted.com As we bring gameplay into more aspects of our lives (from socializing to exercising), Tom Chatfield talks about one compelling aspect of videogaming: its measurability. Parceling out rewards at carefully calibrated percentages, games collect reams of data about what humans truly find rewarding, and precisely how hard we're willing to work for a win.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at http://www.ted.com/translate.

@selearemus Well, chance factors do create a randomness that keeps experiences unique. Though this can also be provided by other players in multiplayer games. I understand the frustration, though. I get really annoyed when chance factors are included into strategy games and the like, where it might happen that you did everything well but fail due to a bad roll of the dice. I can't stand that.
