JOURNEY INTO THE BRAIN

这个项目的目标是：(1)开发一个基于故事的游戏，使用 互动多媒体，向7-11岁的儿童传授有关大脑的知识；以及 (2)评估该计划在提高兴趣方面的有效性 对这个重要器官的了解和了解。该计划满足了人们的需求 寻找新的、有趣的方式来展示基础神经科学 提供给幼儿的信息。缺席的主要理由是 来自小学教育的神经科学是它太抽象了， 复杂，作为一门专门的科学要教给年幼的孩子。 该程序的中心组件是一个基于故事的CD-ROM游戏， 带领参与者进入一个孩子的大脑之旅。同相 基于故事的游戏将完成并进行现场测试。决赛 该计划将作为消费产品和补充产品进行营销 针对目标年龄段的学习计划。补充版本将 包括各种格式的图像、声音和文本 一个多媒体演示程序，用于准备有关以下方面的报告和故事 大脑。 建议的商业应用：基于故事的CD-ROM游戏将 主要作为7-11岁儿童的消费产品销售，以及 其次是作为小学的补充计划。CD-ROM 游戏引领着这股互动浪潮。这一点，加上不断增长的 家庭中配备CD-ROM驱动器的计算机的可用性提供了 互动儿童节目在消费者中的及时机会 市场。

The goals of this project are: (1) to develop a story-based game, using interactive multimedia to teach children, ages 7-11, about the brain; and (2) to evaluate the effectiveness of this program in increasing interest in and knowledge of this important organ. The program addresses the need to find new and entertaining ways of presenting basic neuroscience information to young children. The primary rationale for the absence of neuroscience from elementary school education is that it's too abstract, complicated, and specialized as a science to be taught to young children. The central component of the program is a story-based CD-ROM game that takes the participant on a journey into the brain of a child. In Phase II the story-based game will be completed and field tested. The final program will be marketed as both a consumer product and as a supplemental learning program for the target age group. The supplemental version will include images, sounds, and text in various formats that can be used in a multimedia presentation program to prepare reports and stories about the brain. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: The story-based CD-ROM game will be marketed primarily as a consumer product for children ages 7-11, and secondarily as a supplemental program for elementary schools. CD-ROM games are leading the interactive wave. This, plus the growing availability of computers with CD-ROM drives in the home provides a timely opportunity for interactive children's programs in the consumer market.
