I think for young children the experience is more naturally instinctual and reflexive. For example, when I play Mowing Maniac, if I listen to classical music, am slightly tired and therefore relaxed, I can easily play this game and get to the top level (20) with a high score. If I try to play concentrating on what I'm doing I become very stressed and usually lose quickly. I find the trick for each game is determining how the game works, developing a strategy, and refining it. However, as I said in my blog post, many players, seem to use cheats to help them win or advance to the next level. This defeats the learning of strategy development, obviously.

I've got you jotted down for Week 10 (Gaming & Virtual Environments) being complete. Congrats. Just one more week to go! :) I found it interesting to read about your comparison between yourself and your daughter playing Diner Dash (and yes, that one IS addictive). Thanks for the insightful comments! - Kel Heya! I’ve got you jotted down for Week 10 (Gaming & Virtual Environments) being complete. Congrats. Just one more week to go! :)
