Breaking Biases Through Gamification: Incentivizing Slow Thought

To better learn, our brains require focus, but also the motivation to think slowly. While regular video game mechanics incentivize quick reaction times and learning through trial and error, when we have to break a bias to actually learn a new skill, we need different techniques that ensure that the learner is willing to do the hard process of unlearning before re-learning. Watch this session to learn how you can help your learners rewire their brains to fight their own biases through game mechanics.
