This effect was consistent across the week. As lines are cleared, the level increases and Tetriminos fall faster, making the game progressively more challenging. Playing Tetris Could Stop Traumatic Memories from Becoming Flashbacks. Lines are cleared when they are completely filled with Blocks and have no empty spaces. Playing Tetris decreased craving strength for drugs (alcohol, nicotine, caffeine), food and drink, and activities (sex, exercise, gaming), with a mean reduction of 13.9 percentage points, effect size f2= 0.11. The player must rotate, move, and drop the falling Tetriminos inside the Matrix (playing field). Those in the monitoring-only control condition (n=16) provided baseline craving data to test if Tetris reduced the incidence and strength of spontaneous cravings across the week. Those randomly assigned to the intervention condition (n=15) then played Tetris for 3 minutes and reported their craving again. Participants reported craving target and strength (0- 100), whether they indulged their previous craving (yes/no), and whether they were under the influence of alcohol (yes/no). 6th at 12PM: Tetris Effect: Connected Classic Score Attack. 23rd and 24th on CT2 at 11AM: Bronze Tournament (seeds 97-128) Nov. 23rd and 24th on CT1 at 12PM: Silver Tournament (seeds 65-96) Oct. The present study used an ecological momentary assessment protocol in which 31 undergraduate participants carried iPods for a week and were prompted 7 times each day, by SMS message, to use their iPod to report craving. 2021 CTWC Schedule (all times Pacific) Oct. Previous laboratory research has found that playing Tetris reduces craving strength. This study extends laboratory findings to real world settings and cravings for drugs or activities as well as food. Most research on cognitive processes in craving has been carried out in the laboratory and focuses on food craving.
