Influences on children's visual cognition capabilities through playing ‘intelligent matrix’ developed by the augmented virtual reality technology

Abstract

In the development of young children's senses and action mobility, good visual cognition could help them with good habits of reading, writing, and logical learning. Digital teaching materials are common in use of enhancing the creativity and learning effects. Within them, the interacting manners and their influences on learning effects and learning attitudes lead to enhance the learning motivations and effects. The fun of game maintains a longer learning attention and advances the cognitive skills in easy manners. Thus, this study intends to design a learning system -GoGoBox -by using augmented virtual technology. The methodology is to device a testing game, pre-test and after-test, to test a group of young children so as to understand the learning effects of augmented virtual game of GoGoBox on their visual cognitive skills.The esult of this study is: this learning system -GoGoBox can enhance the young children's cognitive skills. Furthermore, after experiencing this learning system, children's cognitive capability of visual discerning, figure and background, visual memory, and visual closure is all enhanced. The learning effects of visual discerning stand out of four. The capability of special relationship is with no apparent influences. There is no differentiation between male and female. Apparently the older children of 6 have better cognitive skills than those of 5.

Augmented reality-based learning for the comprehension of cardiac physiology in undergraduate biomedical students

“…Although it has been suggested that gender differences must be taken into consideration when developing educational tools (31), some previous game-based learning studies found no differences in outcomes related to gender (12,28). Other studies investigating the influences on children's visual cognition capabilities through playing with "intelligent matrix" with AR showed no difference by gender in performance (8). Robertson (31) found that female students had better retention of information than males because they use more time to write dialogues in the activity.…”

Educational and Cultural Environments Enriched Using Augmented Reality Technology

“…Fun combined with learning becomes the appropriate solution if you want to captivate the attention of a child, as explained by the study called GoGoBox (Ho, Chung & Lin, 2012), which allows to deduce that the use of pedagogical tools improve creativity and the level of learning is greater; after applying this learning system it is obtained that the cognitive ability and the ability to memorise objects visually improves the apprehension of a certain subject.…”

Digital tools in education: Preschool teacher's perspectives on language development in kindergarten

“…According to Chiong & Shuler (2010), a personalized and individual learning experience while using digital tools is one of the great opportunities to support the development of autonomy and independence. Ho, Chung, and Lin (2012) suggest that incorporating interactive visual elements into educational programs can improve learning motivation, attitudes, and accessibility. Children should be given the opportunity to choose and determine their own course of action.…”
