GRIS, Gabriele; DE SOUZA, Silvia Regina  and  DOS SANTOS CARMO, João. Effects of an adapted digitai domino on solving addition problems. CES Psicol [online]. 2018, vol.11, n.2, pp.111-127. ISSN 2011-3080.  https://doi.org/10.21615/cesp.11.2.10.

This study has evaluated the teaching effects in conditional relations between numerals (A), sets of points (B) and two different ways of presenting addition problems (with figures [C] in a scale shape [D]) promoted by the digital game Korsan, based on solving addition problems using figures in a scale shape. It was also evaluated the engagement produced by the game and its usability. Four seven-year old children participated. The resolution of addition problems in Pre-test, Probes, Post-test and Follow-up was evaluated through adapted games. In the intervention the AB/BA and AC/CA relations were taught, and BC/CB relation were tested. Later the CD /DC relations were taught, testing the relations AD/DA and BD/DB. An improvement in problem solving performance was evidenced. The results also indicated that the game seems appropriate and the fact of implementing a plot and aesthetic elements in future game versions may increase player engagement during matches.
