relates to the use of games to tackle issues related to real-world
situations, and while the term has become popular, the concept is not
entirely new. Think about loyalty cards, not just frequent flyer mile
programs, but maybe even at your local butcher or café. Do you get a
discount after a certain number of purchases; maybe the 10<sup>th</sup><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="been in"></a>
coffee is free. For a while, various reward schemes have already been
in place; even giving children a reward for completing household chores
or good behavior and awarding <span class="epub__emphasis"><i>gold stars</i></span> for academic excellence constitute <span class="SearchHighlight">gamification</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="utilize"></a>. If you consider social activities such as Scouts, they utilize <span class="epub__emphasis"><i><span class="SearchHighlight">gamification</span></i></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="Scouts learn"></a>
as part of their procedures. Scouts learn new skills, such as
cooperativeness, and by doing so gain different status, and receive
badges to demonstrate levels of competency. <span class="SearchHighlight">Gamification</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="favorable approach"></a> has become a favorable approach to <span class="epub__emphasis"><i>engaging</i></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="schemes to"></a> clients with new and exciting design schemes to maintain interest and promote a more enjoyable and ideally "<span class="epub__emphasis"><i>fun</i></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="does not"></a>" product. The product in question does not have to be <span class="epub__emphasis"><i>digital</i></span>. Therefore, <span class="epub__emphasis"><i><span class="SearchHighlight">gamification</span></i></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="can exist"></a>
can exist both in a physical realm (as mentioned before with gold stars
awards) as well as in a more prominent digital sense (such as badge and
point reward systems) as an effective way to motivate and engage users.

As horrifying as it might sound they can be considered as a game. For
example, we're on a quest to learn about history. Each assignment you
get is like a task, preparing you for the final battle...<span class="epub__emphasis"><i>the exam</i></span>.
At the end of all these assessments, you get a score or a grade that
indicates to you your progress as you pass from one concept to the next.
Ultimately, your final exam will determine your rank among your peers
and whether or not you make it to the next level or not (that being
anywhere from your year level to a university). It may be also worth
noting that just like in games, you also have those trying to work the
system, searching for glitches in the system that they can exploit.
However, just like games, they too eventually are kicked.</span></span></li>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Motion graphic design is a subset of graphic design which uses graphic design principles in filmmaking, video production, etc. through the use of animation or filmic techniques; for example, graphics used in film and television opening sequences, or the spinning, three-dimensional station identification logos of some television channels. Motion graphic design is for creating "motion graphic"; where "motion graphic" is pieces of digital footage or animation which create the illusion of motion or rotation, and are usually combined with audio for use in multimedia projects.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>What is Lumosity Performance Index?</b></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There are 3 types of Lumosity Performance Indices: </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Game Lumosity Performance Index</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. Area Lumosity Performance Index</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3. Overall Lumosity Performance Index</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Game Lumosity Performance Index (LPI) is determined by gathering and analyzing score distributions for each game across a wide range of users. A Game LPI is set to each game score. The Game LPI of a player is set each time she/he plays a game based on how her/his current score compares to her/his previous scores for that game.<br /><br />Area LPI (Speed, Memory, Attention, Flexibility, and Problem Solving) is calculated using players Game LPIs for the games in that cognitive area.<br /><br />Overall LPI is based on players Game LPIs from all cognitive areas. Since players might not play an equal number of games from each area, Overall LPI might not be the same as the average of the 5 Area LPIs.<br /><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Google DeepMind is a British artificial intelligence company founded in September 2010 as DeepMind Technologies. It was renamed when it was acquired by Google in 2014. The company has created a neural network that learns how to play video games in a fashion similar to that of humans, as well as a Neural Turing Machine, or a neural network that may be able to access an external memory like a conventional Turing machine, resulting in a computer that mimics the short-term memory of the human brain. The company made headlines in 2016 after its AlphaGo program beat a human professional Go player for the first time [<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_DeepMind" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">more info</span></a>].</span></span><br />
