Program Changes

The following program changes have been made since the original conference schedule was printed.

Date:8/18/2010
Track:Gaming and Simulation
Time:2:15-3:00
Formerly:Old Text Learns New Tricks: Embedding computer Games in hardcopy books with Pentop Computers
 Glenn Smith, Ph.D., , University of South Florida
 The presenters conducted two studies comparing iMapBooks to regular books for fifth graders’ reading comprehension and affective responses, via multiple-choice retention questions, open-ended essay questions, and focus groups. Participants reading iMapBooks retained significantly more spatial details from stories. Participants suggested the games be more game-like.
Now:“Pre-training” Simulations For Regaining Purposeful Human Motor Controls
 Vince Macri, Manager, 3d Premotorskill Technologies Llc
 This presentation is on 3D PreMotorSkills ‘games,’ i.e. digital simulations for re-learning human motor controls. The technology is video/computer game-based and directed to “pre-training” simulations that stimulate neuronal recruitment, neurogenesis and brain plasticity related to controlling human movements. As such, 3D PreMotorSkills ‘games’ may be viewed, from a neuronal perspective, as inside-out processes augmenting physical and robotic assistive therapies, i.e. outside-in processes.
