A Scoping Review of Auditory Interventions in Games and Gamification
Key insights
6 takeaways- 01Auditory interventions in games and gamification are primarily used to modulate player presence, immersion, emotional affect, and cognitive load.
- 02Research in this field has experienced significant growth since 2011, reflecting an increasing focus on the psychological and behavioral impacts of sound.
- 03The efficacy of auditory stimuli on player performance remains inconsistent across systematic studies, indicating that outcomes are highly dependent on specific contextual factors.
- 04Current research covers a diverse range of interactive environments, including traditional gaming, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and non-game gamified applications.
- 05Future experimental designs require more nuanced investigations that move beyond general audio presence to isolate the effects of specific sound subtypes.
- 06The review utilizes the PRISMA-ScR framework to map game attributes against audio characteristics, providing a structured foundation for optimizing auditory feedback in digital experiences.
