Direct linkParong, Jocelyn; Mayer, Richard E. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
Summary The goal of the present study was to examine the effects of playing an immersive virtual reality game that included a collection of gamified cognitive tasks, "Cerevrum," on specific components of cognition, including perceptual attention, mental rotation, working memory, visualization, visual field of view, and visual processing…

Makransky, Guido; Andreasen, Niels K.; Baceviciute, Sarune; Mayer, Richard E. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
We investigated the instructional effectiveness of using an interactive and immersive virtual reality (IVR) simulation versus a video for teaching scientific knowledge in 2 between-subjects experiments. In Experiment 1, 131 high school students (84 females) used a science simulation that involved forensic analysis of a collected DNA sample in a…

Makransky, Guido; Wismer, Philip; Mayer, Richard E. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2019
The main objective of this study is to determine whether boys and girls learn better when the characteristics of the pedagogical agent are matched to the gender of the learner while learning in immersive virtual reality (VR). Sixty-six middle school students (33 females) were randomly assigned to learn about laboratory safety with one of two…

Makransky, Guido; Borre-Gude, Stefan; Mayer, Richard E. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2019
The main objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of immersive virtual reality (VR) as a medium for delivering laboratory safety training. We specifically compare an immersive VR simulation, a desktop VR simulation, and a conventional safety manual. The sample included 105 first year undergraduate engineering students (56 females).…

Peer reviewedMayer, Richard E.; Sims, Valerie K. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1994
In 2 experiments, 162 high- and low-spatial ability students viewed a computer-generated animation and heard a concurrent or successive explanation. The concurrent group generated more creative solutions to transfer problems and demonstrated a contiguity effect consistent with dual-coding theory. (SLD)
