My game is called Speed Round and this week was the second playtest which meant the second trail of our game. There were 5 subjects used and they were recruited if they have the mental disorder, ADHD, and then will be picked at random. The conditions of this experiment were that the experimental group were given medication in order to focus on the game and the control group were given a placebo; thinking they were given medication when they took nothing. I would observe how the subjects responded to simple questions and if they didn’t answer in a timely manner, they would be placed in the control group. I created the conditions of how each player must be able to type in at least one word correctly so that they’re eligible in order to keep playing the game. The subjects in each condition were asked to answer a series of simple questions as in: what color is the sky and when was the declaration of independence signed in order to be able to participate in the game. I collected data by putting all the scores into a spreadsheet.This week, my game did well for most of the subjects because they felt motivated to actually focus on the game rather than rushing into it.
