Reanalysis of Study Results on Memory Retention Between Game Players and Gameplay Video Viewers

Abstract

A prior study was conducted to investigate the differences in memory retention of game content between individuals who played the game and those who watched a gameplay video. This study reanalyzed the experimental results. Specifically, we segmented the free description responses by stage and conducted an analysis. Additionally, we used the cued recall test results to determine significant differences using a coding test. The findings revealed that, in terms of temporally older memories, the play group exhibited significantly less memory retention compared to the watch group.
