The Instructional Design of Trivia Game: A Computerized Auditory Training Program to Improve Speech Understanding in Noise

• In Event: D&D - Design and Development Showcase

Short Description

“Trivia Game” is a rehabilitative simulation-based game developed to improve speech understanding in noise. Set in a restaurant, trainees answer a variety of questions in the presence of appropriately-leveled background noise. Game levels increase or decrease signal-to-noise ratios to increase or decrease difficulty. Early tests show significant improvements in speech understanding in noise for healthy adults. The simulation-game, scoring, leveling up and down, instructional design and development process will be demonstrated.
