JPS 2017 this year focuses on the concept “technology", offering an analytic lens that will not become obsolete with the next new widget. We present a generative understanding of technology and human development by scholars with a diverse range of histories, perspectives, and research projects.

Speakers

Isabela Granic

Plenary:

Video games that promote emotional resilience in children and youth

In this talk, Isabela Granic will: (a) describe the cross-disciplinary framework we use to develop mobile and virtual reality games that integrate biofeedback and evidence-based game mechanics, (b) present data from a series of randomized controlled trials that evaluate games that use biofeedback at their core (e.g., EEG neurofeedback, heart rate); and (c) introduce a roadmap to the next five years of programmatic studies in biofeedback games, emphasizing how our design and research methodology can help establish a validated toolbox of mechanics relevant to a wide range of intervention and learning domains.
