Games help in development of cognitive ability. For example, a simulated game that has engineer trainees repairing different machineries that get more complex as they complete each level, will ultimately develop their cognitive ability in that area. Thus, games increase learning motivation. Practice makes a man perfect, doesn’t it?

Experimental science itself didn’t emerge ’til the medieval ages at the earliest. The notion of scientific education had yet to emerge. I think the care is cognitive science: how we process information. While there are neural underpinnings, most of the results and prescriptions operate at the cognitive level, or above.

In an earlier post, I made a defense of cognitive psychology (really, to me, cognitive science, a bigger umbrella). Learning science is an interdisciplinary field, including cognitive science, educational psychology, and more. We shouldn’t be using courses when job aids will suffice, as cognitive science tells us.
