Working memory and s/t memory (hippocampus) make up the Learn Loop, which ends up in the long-term memory (neocortex).
Cognitive learning is a change in experience, which changes knowledge.
Step-by-step objectives reduce cognitive load.
Bottom up (game to brain) and Top down (brain to game) interactions.

Results validated that players were learning more than before. Learning scores followed a normal distribution, where the T-statistic was less than the critical t-value, validating our main variable but showing the others as insignificant.
