Our recent work, using both computer-animated and natural images, demonstrates that infants' eye movements are sequentially structured. In particular, we employ a simple recurrent network (SRN) to estimate the learnability of infants' gaze sequences. The current study directly compares this learnability metric with infants' global looking time on a trial-by-trial basis, during both an habituation...
The challenge of designing an active video game that is an effective means by which to promote physical activity while at the same time is an engaging video game has been met with varied success. The key to overcoming this challenge is to approach design from the perspective that active video games are a unique combination of traditional video games and sports. By combining models of engagement —...
