can you elaborate on the 'emotional' part?

  not GP, but, there are times when I just dont have the "will" to do anything "useful", when I just want to veg out, and be passive (as in , I am willing to listen to something, but not in the frame of mind to process anything) (Or) Another interpretation of GP is the mental barrier that "X Topic is very hard", and I am not _that_ smart, so I dont want to fail?

  Sure! A lot of students have feelings of self-doubt. They get easily frustrated, or bored, or impatient. They feel like they're not good enough, or that they will never get this. They get stuck in negative thought spirals like that. They don't dare asking questions because they've been taught that it's a sign of weakness. etc. These feelings are often entirely disconnected from reality, even the best students have them. Because of that, I think any piece of educational content needs to tackle the emotional side as well, maybe even primarily. So I do see the point of fun in learning, if it can help cross these emotional barriers.
