Thematic synthesis cluster on motivational and affective dimensions across the 55 included studies. The review reports that "Motivational outcomes were the most consistently positive dimension", citing examples such as a fuzzy logic + Q-learning DDA study extending play sessions by 35% and improving player effectiveness by 28%.

"Motivational outcomes were the most consistently positive dimension across the included studies. Damastuti et al. (2024) demonstrated that fuzzy logic + Q-learning DDA extended play sessions by 35% and improved player effectiveness by 28%."
