2. Surname:

Seymour Barab (1921–2014) was an American composer of opera, songs and instrumental and chamber music, as well as a cellist, organist and pianist.

He was best known for his fairy tale operas for young audiences, such as Chanticleer and Little Red Riding Hood.

He was a longtime member of the Philip Glass Ensemble.

Catlin Adams (born Nira Barab; 1950) is an American actress, acting coach and film director. 

Filmmaker Darren Aronofsky described Adams' work thus: 

"She demystifies the process, breaks it down and teaches how to transform technique into an art.

S, A. Barab: Video or electronic gaming has become more widely used than traditional board games.

Barab (2009) defines conceptual play as "a state of engagement that involves 

(a) projection into the role of character who, 

(b) engaged in a partly fictional problem context, 

(c) must apply conceptual understandings to make sense of, and ultimately, transform the context".

The goal of such play spaces is to have the "gamer" engage in the narrative while learning cognitive and social skills.

The ability to immerse oneself in the gaming process facilitates "empathetic embodiment" which occurs when a player learns to identify with the character they have chosen for the game and the virtual environment of the game (Barab, 2009).
