This case study tried to answer the question; How does the player's performance relate to ambient sound effects in a computer game? There are previous studies on how sound effects can affect cognitive behavior in humans with both positive and negative outcomes. The problem is that noise and increased tempo in sound can cause stress, concentration difficulties and impaired performance. The purpose of this study is to investigate if there are any significant differences in players performances by the usage of varying ambient sound effects in a digital quiz.

 

The thesis was written in Swedish but have a abstract page where it is written in English.
