Abstract

The present invention relates to a method to obtain a developing and educative computer game and/or learning programme, characterized in that an individually programmable information carrier, e.g. a smart card, is used to record a personally obtained level of skilfulness or level of development forming the base for a possible up-dating of the level of difficulty in the computer game or in the learning programme.

Description

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME WITH INDIVIDUALLY PROGRAMMABLE
INFORMATION CARRIER.
The present invention relates to a method to obtain a motoric developing och educative computer game and/or a learning program by using an individually programable information carrier.
Modern computer technique with multi-media facility is a very effective method to transfer knowledge. This knowledge is present¬ ed on a screen so the sight is the sense which transfer the know¬ ledge to the brain. This means that just a smaller part of the brain - a memory "card-index" connected to sight impressions - stores this knowledge.
One theory is that knowledge - through the sense organs trans¬ ferring information to electrical signals - is stored in "knowledge islands" i.e. engrams in the brain, that is synaps net-works between several brain cells. The more senses involved in the learning process the stronger engrams with more associative openings or possiblities are created. In the future this may mean that knowledge will be easier and probably more rapidly accessible. In order that man shall obtain knowledge as real tools in the living unforseeable life, i.e. knowledge which will work also in unexpected and surprizing situations and during stress, it is important to firmly establish knowledge in such a way that it will have a broader settlement in the brain.
Some basic knowledge or abilities must be anchored in the spinal cord as reflex behaviours. Something between a pure reflex behaviour and a consious behaviour is what is called automated behaviour, which must exist for certain human activities. Disregarded such motoric activities as the childrens crawling on all four and the walking, the driving of a car is something the man in the industrialized world will do in a proportionately great extend. Thus it is not possible to put too much forced sense activity onto the driving itself, but the senses must all the time be free to active look for the necessary information which in each situation gives such a complete "picture" as possible as base for correct and maybe vital decisions.
If an engaging moment of playing is involved in the learning process the conditions is probably improved to a permanent and stable knowledge. By not only using the more "passive" senses and a surpressed motoric activity during the learning process, but by "playing in" knowledge in a more dynamic way creating a great presence of the pupil's mind it is possible to anchore knowledge in an effective way - in one scentence also in several levels of consciousness.
The main object of the present invention is to obtain a method to perform an effective way of transferring knowledge/information.
An other object of the present invention is to obtain a technique to up-date computer games so that they all the time increases in their level of difficulty in dependence upon the motoric level of the player.
Yet another object of the invention is to obtain a method to im¬ prove learning of basic behaviour in connection to the handling of a vehicle.
An other object is to obtain a method to effectively solve some kind of reflex disorders of children in the age of 6 to 10 years.
The above mentioned objects are obtained by an invention with the characterizing clauses mentioned in the claims.
By an individually programable information carrier used to follow up and record an achived degree of skilfulness it will be possible that, in e.g. a computer game, increase the level of difficulty and add new portions, which besides of being consolidat¬ ing earlier knowledge, also contribute to a continous stimulating and engaging learning process. Computer games are often most fascinat¬ ing during the learning when the player most intensively is aware of how he or she is getting more clever in handling the tasks existing. Then he or she is likely to be "automatisized" at an individ¬ ual and often pretty high level of skilfulness and may then compulsory keep on repeting the game without essential increasing the skilfullness.
Thus by the present invention it is possible to create highly individually computer games/teaching programs wherein the level of development of the individual person and degree of skilfulness is observed. Thus at automatisation on a certain theoretic level with a given game or teaching program an interest for the practical and often motoric development of the person can be created. At a skill training in driving a vehicle this motoric development can be stimulated. The pupil, often a child in the age of 8 to 11 years, will sit in a "toy vehicle" maybe a type of "virtual reality" car, provided that inertia changes can be performed, and drives on a test track where different traffic situations can be created and which demans a certain skilfullness or a correct handling pattern. Depending upon the motoric development the theoretical knowledge transferring can then take place.
The theoretical part, in e. g. the education for a driving license, can also be performed in a more stimulating way for people with dyslexy by using multi media technique and presenting ceratain film sequences of traffic situations where a situation can be "frozen", whereupon simple questions can be asked regarding the expected solution or regarding a correct acting. Thus it is possible to loaden an information carrier with individually adapted "home works" to be done at home with a PC. Questions being not under¬ stood earlier can be asked in other ways. Later it is an advantage to follow up the answers to confirm that the questions have been understood. It shall not be easy to just guess throughout the test. Wrong answers can be registred on the information carrier.
In the neurological development of man there exist different reflexes being important for survival at certain critical situations, e.g. during birth. Such a reflex is the MORO-reflex which normally can be controlled in the age of 4 months. Some children do not learn to control this reflex and releases it during strong stress, which involve a "kicking out" of the arms and a backwards bending the head. From investigations in GB it is known that many adults have this reflex. At the beginning the deficiencies in refexes has no connection to an intelectual capacity, but can, if not discovered and taken care of, besides leading to more or less serious wrong behaviours in stressful situations, mean that an in other ways normal man do not develope in an optimal way, i.e to his or hers fully human capacity. It may be a risk that certain types of refex disorders and a little late but normal personal development is deemed as a young human being deviant. An early thought of revenge can be developed, which might lead to that a low motoric skilfulness will be compensated by an asocial driving behaviour later in the life.
An other reflex which easily can be controlled if it is discovered in time is the ATN-reflex (Asymmetric Tonical Neck reflex) . This reflex means that when you are turning your head to the right the right arm tends to be strightened and the left arm to be bend. Thus if something shows up at the side of a car a simultanous turning of the head can mean that the steering wheel will turn to the other direction.
