Effects of Game-Based Learning on Students’ Critical Thinking: A Meta-Analysis (2021, background): “Although GBL might aid critical thinking, it might also foster intuitive learning and simple heuristics, which drive cognitive biases in judgment or reasoning and hinder critical thinking (Turkle, 2003; West et al., 2008; Wouters & van Oostendorp, 2013).”
