title = "Predicting Real-Time Affective States by Modeling Facial Emotions Captured During Educational Video Game Play",
abstract = "In an attempt to predict the cognitive-affective states of a player during an educational video game session, this study used a self-emote procedure in which participants{\textquoteright} facial expressions and emotions were continuously recorded along with self-reported data about their emotional states. Participants{\textquoteright} facial expressions and emotions were captured using Affdex SDK from Affectiva. The captured data were used for binomial logistic regression to predict the cognitive-affective states of flow, frustration, and boredom. The binomial logistic regression uncovered that expressions and emotions could be used to predict these cognitive-affective states of a player. We discuss these predictors and their potential to adapt an educational video game session with non-intrusive and affect-sensitive personalization capabilities. The current study provides a pathway for the educational play design and suggests that it should be non-intrusive while being adaptive to a player{\textquoteright}s capabilities.",
