Through learning to play games like these, people can develop an intuitive understanding of real-life systems and their emergent dynamics".
"Many develop an intuitive understanding of computers, in the same way other children develop an intuitive understanding of people". Leo Chalupa, a neurobiologist at the University of California, Davis, predicted that, by the middle of this century, it would not be uncommon for people to lead active lives well beyond the age of 100.
He says that his tops can help children develop an intuitive understanding of physics or chemistry in much the same way that an understanding of geometry can grow out of playing with blocks.

It was there, he said, that he developed an intuitive understanding of how the economy works — one very different from that of policy makers in Washington and the vast bulk of academics.
Apart from providing valuable data points for scientific experiments, the method also has substantial educational value as a teaching exercise for architectural students to develop an intuitive understanding of contemporary daylight performance metrics, as well as a feeling of how their personal lighting preferences compare to these metrics.
Under the so-called constructivist model that's all the rage among educational theorists, traditional instruction on crunching equations is giving way to exercises that are supposed to help students develop an "intuitive" understanding of math.
If students are to correctly understand and interpret phylogenies (if they are to become "tree-thinkers"), they must develop an intuitive understanding of evolutionary relationships based on nested hierarchies (Baum et al. 2005; Catley et al. 2005; Baum and Offner 2008).
For instance, I have found that some "uneducated" people who have spent their lives living and working on the land have developed an intuitive understanding of ecology and conservation that is far more nuanced and practically valuable than the more academic, scientific knowledge acquired by Ph.D. ecologists such as myself.
