“The experiment tasks were very interesting. I felt I was playing some kind of puzzle-solving game. I shared my reflections with the researchers after completing it. They were rigorous and considerate, and shows great passion about cognitive psychology. The experience has been wonderful and thought-provoking. I am really glad that I participated in it.(translation)”
“My son enjoyed playing those mini-games! He found them quite interesting, and for several times, he asked if he could play it again as the game was finished. We are very happy to join in this study and hope their findings could be helpful for improving children’s learning and education. (translation)”
“I was really enthusiastic to participate in a research designed by a team from the University of Cambridge. All the tasks were well-organized, and I really liked the fact that I had to be focus and quite observant to complete them successfully. (translation)”
“Participating in this research gave me the chance to have a break from my preparation of my final examinations and engage to something really interesting and sometimes amusing. I enjoyed playing the games and I found the mathematics and physics questions challenging and tricky! (translation)”
