Abstract

For researchers interested in exploring the cognitive and metacognitive processes involved in problem-solving, one obstacle has been the difficulty of creating engaging and ecologically valid situations in which to observe these skills in practice.

The design of the game and interface is detailed, and initial results of and suggestions for extensions to this work are presented.
