Imagine having your compliance training as fun as the latest game you played and having your colleagues eager to participate. You might say, "No, that's impossible." We say, "Yes, it's possible!"
And there are plenty of reasons to have such gamified training. It offers many psychological benefits! Here are a few.
Games motivate you
When you play a game, dopamine is released in your body, so you have an increased feeling of motivation and enjoyment. 😄
Narratives keep you engaged
Usually, the game has a nice narrative surrounding it. That has the double advantage of making you more involved in the game and giving you a reason to find the task relevant. The same applies to learning: when the subject you learn is surrounded by a narrative connected to your emotions, you want to keep learning. ❤️
Playing engages the long-term memory
Dopamine also helps you maintain focus on the task. This neurotransmitter linked with learning and memory is released from the hippocampus, an area in the brain's lower section. And guess what? That part of the brain is mainly responsible for knowledge recall! Simply put, when you have fun, you promote the storage of new information in the long-term memory. 🧠
Games make you want to learn more
For you to seek more learning, science has shown that you need to receive instantaneous feedback. That's because when you are rewarded for a specific action, the feel-good hormone is released, and you start associating the learning with positive emotions, which prompt you to repeat. 🔁
Fun fact
The brain processes stories better than facts. So, when you are engaged in a strong narrative, your brain releases oxytocin, and you recognize the information as more valid. ✅
Games help you focus
Another chemical released when playing is endorphins. Those natural painkillers improve relaxation, calm, and focus. When your learning experience is gamified, your brain naturally creates an environment ideal for focused learning. 🤓
At Serapy, we use all those scientific insights to develop training programs built on expert-verified cases. The outcome? A training that resonates with people, leaves a lasting impression, and delivers effectiveness that surpasses regular training by far. 👌
