Cognition - Using RPGs to Enhance the Learning Process, from the Cognitive Neuropsychology Perspective: by Hawke Robinson — published Nov 29, 2017 — last modified Dec 08, 2022 03:00 PM — filed under: Discipline: Neuroscience, Aspect: Memory, Discipline: Psychology, Discipline: Education / Formal Classroom Setting, Discipline: Cognitive Neuroscience, Research Question / Discussion Topic, Aspect: Cognition
This could be applied to all RPG Formats in various ways, with different strengths and weaknesses presenting in each format: Tabletop, Live-Action (LARP), computer-based, or solo adventure books/modules. Ideally a mix of all 4 formats would likely have the most powerful effects. This is from a recent assignment for a cognitive neuroscience class. I only had about an hour or two to whip this up, so this is just a simple, quick essay for a class assignment. It isn't very well put together, because the assignments are only worth about 1-10 points out of 1,000, while the tests add up to 800 points of the total grade, so please forgive the lack of formality and poor quality. Hopefully you will still find the information listed useful. I hope in the future to write a much better, more formal version, but with my existing backlog, who knows when that will be, so I am posting this here as a placeholder reminder for me to hopefully work on it in the future. Even in this rough format, it may still be useful for some interesting topical discussions.

A recent assignment for a cognitive neuroscience class. This is a simple, quick essay for one of our assignments.

Hopefully you still find the information listed, useful.
