| AUTISM | COGNITIVE SKILLS | SERIOUS GAMES | VIRTUAL REALITYOnline resources: Read this Article Summary: Observes that the design of ''Serious games'' that use game components (e.g., storyline, long-term goals, rewards) to create engaging learning experiences has increased in recent years. Examines the core principles of serious game design and the current use of these principles in computer-based interventions for individuals with autism. Points out, however, that participants who undergo these computer-based interventions often show little evidence of the ability to generalize such learning to everyday social communicative interactions. Suggests that future computer-based interventions should consider the full range of serious game design principles that promote generalization of learning.
