The pretest sensitization phenomenon exists when repeated exposure to a testcondition influences the participant's response. Research shows that air and missile defensedevelopment correlate with video games, resulting in similar interfaces and computer operatingenvironments.

Specifically, researchers studied whethermotivation[5] and belonging [4] are related to course outcomes. This prior work mainly fo-cused on introduction to programming courses.
