Applying Developmental Theory and Research to the Creation of Educational Games
Revelle, Glenda
New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, n139 p31-40 Spr 2013
The field of developmental psychology has produced abundant theory and research about the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development of children; however, to date there has been limited use of this wealth of knowledge by developers creating games for children. This chapter provides an overview of key theoretical observations and research-based insight regarding children's development and outlines practical implications for their application to game design.
