Improving memory and problem-solving skills of socially anxious people using game therapy

The goal of this study is to improve cognitive ability, memory and problem-solving skills of people with social anxiety by using game therapy. Social anxiety can have a huge impact on communication, relationships, and mental health. This study uses game therapy as an alternative therapy to traditional methods. The game uses node-based and C++ programming languages in Unreal Engine to create scenarios that simulate real-world social problems. Participants are asked to make decisions within the game and practice ethical responses. They can then use these responses to make adaptive choices for real-world situations. Results show that people who received game therapy improved problem-solving skills significantly. This suggests that game therapy has the potential to be a successful intervention for people with social anxiety.
