TABLE 1.

Operationalization of in-game tasks.

Experimental paradigm In-game operationalization In-game mechanic Game output / proximal measure Training outcome
Emotion regulation Biofeedback Width of the field of view linked to breathing pace Breathing control and HRV scores Physiological control
Response inhibition (Go/NoGo) Shoot/don’t shoot Shooting at targets matching dispatch information Accuracy Response control
Priming Dispatch bias task Targets’ (mis)match with dispatch information (body shape; eye color) Accuracy based on body type of the target Bias resistance

Model for the incorporation of experimental paradigms in the game environment; HRV, heart-rate variability.
