One of my more immediate thoughts was how this could be applied to language learning, and I presumed that the tech-savvy Lojban community would find this rather useful knowledge. http://www.ted.com/talks/tom_chatfield_7_ways_games_reward_the_brain.html http://www.ted.com/talks/jesse_schell_when_games_invade_real_life.html (One thing the speakers dance around saying, I think, is that the rewards can't be self-imposed. They have to be from an external source beyond your control. If you feel like you can break the system, or change the reward system at your will, then it feels frivolous.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
