Add to ORKGAbstract. This study explores the effects of prior video-game experience on learner’s motivation in a serious game environment. 20 participants were in-vited to play our serious game, called HeapMotiv, intended to educate players about the heap data structure. HeapMotiv is comprised of three missions (Heap-Tetris, Heap-Shoot and Heap-Sort). We used Keller’s ARCS theoretical model of motivation and physiological sensors (heart rate, skin conductance and elec-troencephalogram) to record learners ’ reactions during interactions with differ-ent missions. Results from non-parametric tests supported the hypothesis that physiological patterns and their evolution are objective tools to directly and re-liably assess effects of prior video-game exper...
