Abstract
What aspects of gameplay have a positive impact on cognitive development? This work-in-progress focuses on the role of spatial involvement via different control schemes by implementing a training regimen through Minecraft for mental rotation in order to understand the impact of aspects of involvement on the training outcome. A proven engaging training experience was recreated, making training mental rotation more accessible and extending it using digital media. We compare different levels of spatial involvement in a pilot study to understand factors of the experience's impact as a first step towards an improved understanding of relevant aspects of digital games for training.
