Game Boxes!

For 12-17 years old.

Your child will see many pairs of activities. For example, an activity in which a real animal is shown and an activity in which a fantasy animal is shown. Your child will rate how much they liked each activity in the pair, and will then choose which activity to do again. There will be 12 pairs in total. At the end, we will ask you to fill in a quick survey with questions like how many years you continued in education and the size of the city where you grew up.

Cognitive activities such as reading, playing games and learning new things are enjoyable.
This study investigates what makes different cognitive activities enjoyable, how children change their preferences as they get older, and whether these preferences generalize across different cognitive activities.
