Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

There was an interesting study done by Dr. Bryan Raudenbush, associate professor of psychology at Wheeling Jesuit University in Wheeling, WV. He found that we experience higher pulse rates in action and fighting games, the most mental demand in puzzle games and the most anger when we play sports games. No shit!

“In general, Raudenbush found that game play produced an increase in pulse as compared to the baseline condition. This increase in pulse was greatest in the action, fighting, sports, and boxing games. Pain tolerance was greatest for the sports and fighting games. The sports game produced the greatest level of anger. The action and puzzle games produced the most mental demand, the largest physical demand was associated with the boxing game, and the temporal demand was greatest in the arcade and boxing games. Performance ratings were highest in the boxing and puzzle condition, and frustration ratings were highest in the arcade and boxing conditions.”
