Review of validation studies
Studies designed to validate serious games were assessed for achievement of steps in the validation process, according to criteria regarded as best evidence (Table 1)12,13. The predominant question to be addressed by validity testing is whether the instrument measures what it is intended to measure12. Content must be reviewed by experts on the subject. The instrument's face validity must be valued by both novice trainees and experts to gain acceptance. The parameters by which performance is o...
