I get what you are saying, I am not familiar with the research. But the video game analogy was proving my point, not the opposite. I love to learn a new level or video game characters future is at stake. Mario's death is not a loss that triggers great anxiety for me. Needing to get certification in a field that I am not familiar with, so that my family can stay fed and not be homeless, tends to take the "joy" out of learning for me.
