Title
An Investigation of a Game-Based Anti-Drug System: Addictive Learners vs. Non-addictive Learners
Abstract
The spread of drugs causes serious problems recently. To enhance people awareness about drugs, several approaches were adopted to deliver anti-drug materials. However, limitations were observed in these approaches. Thus, this study develops a game-based anti-drug system (GADS), which incorporates game-based learning into anti-drug materials. In order to get a complete understanding of whether the GADS is suitable to both non-addictive users and addictive users, an empirical study was conducted. Drug experience was considered as a target to investigate learners' reactions to the GADS. The results indicated that non-addictive learners had better game performance and learning performance than addictive learners because addictive learners' working memory was negatively affected by drugs.
