Executive function is a high-level cognitive ability involved in information processing, enabling problem-solving and goal achievement. It is closely related to daily life reactions and thoughts. Inhibition and switching are two fundamental yet critical components of executive function. Inhibition helps suppress irrelevant information or distractions, allowing us to remain calm and rational in various situations, while switching governs the ability to transition between tasks or mental states, enabling flexible adjustment of behavior and thoughts in response to changing contexts or environments. Previous studies have indicated that executive function can be improved through training, such as repeated practice, progressive challenges, and training designed based on cognitive theories. However, traditional training often relies on repetitive practice, which, if the engagement and motivation of learners can be enhanced, might lead to better learning outcomes and transfer of learning.Therefore, this study focuses on the two basic cognitive abilities of executive function: inhibition and switching. It develops a cognitive training game set in the context of "animal training" based on these two cognitive abilities. When people are in situations where they train animals or pets, the elements of self-regulation involved may also be suitable for cognitive training. These elements include focus (paying attention to animal responses), monitoring (continuously observing the animal's state and behavior), feedback (providing timely encouragement or rewards), and adjustment (dynamically adjusting training strategies based on results). Additionally, animals or pets have a sense of closeness; the "animal training" scenario provides an interesting context that may help trigger and maintain motivation. The idea is that while users train animals, they also engage in self-training and improvement.Specifically, this study develops a situational training game themed around "animal training." The game scenario simulates real-life training situations, such as giving commands to pet cats or dogs like sit, shake hands, fetch, and sleep, as well as different performance scenarios like participating in shows at an aquarium. Learners, in the role of trainers, need to suppress distractions from words or images during the training process and switch between training rules and actions according to the context. Through different task levels, learners continuously challenge and practice, thereby enhancing the aforementioned two cognitive functions (inhibition and switching).This study explores two research questions: (1) What is the effect of using a situational cognitive training game themed around "animal training" on improving learners' executive function, specifically inhibition and switching abilities? (2) What is the effect of using a situational cognitive training game themed around "animal training" on promoting learners' motivation to participate? The study uses a within-subjects design with 44 college students from northern Taiwan as participants. Participants are randomly divided into two groups, A and B. Group A first uses the "animal training situational" digital game for 20 minutes, then uses the "decontextualized" digital game (Stroop Task digital version) for 20 minutes. Group B follows the opposite order to eliminate potential effects caused by the order of tasks. Both groups take executive function tests before and after the training intervention to determine whether their inhibition and switching abilities improve after using the training games. Finally, a learning motivation questionnaire is used to collect participants' motivation for using the two digital materials.The results indicate that: (1) After 20 minutes of training with both the animal training game and the decontextualized training game, both groups show significant improvement in their inhibition and switching abilities, with no significant difference in the improvement between the two groups. This suggests that both digital games effectively enhance learners' inhibition and switching abilities; (2) In terms of learning motivation, learners' overall motivation, attention, and relevance are significantly higher for the "situational" training game compared to the "decontextualized" training game. This indicates that the animal training situational training game is more effective in attracting attention and relating to daily life, thus providing higher engagement motivation.
