Jiu Yong; Jianguo Wei; Yangping Wang; Jianwu Dang; Xiaomei Lei; Wenhuan Lu – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
Extended reality (XR) is a general term for virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). By converting abstract digital expressions into intelligent feedback through figures, one can effectively compensate for the poor performance of traditional learning in deep cognitive processing and operational skills training.…

David M. Rehfeld; Payton DeMeyer; Abby Kugler; Kristin Pelczarski – Teaching and Learning in Communication Sciences & Disorders, 2025
Simulated learning experiences (SLEs) are becoming increasingly popular in communication sciences and disorders (CSD) training programs. This pilot study examines the relative effectiveness of delivering a SLE via standard computer or using virtual reality headsets for a more immersive learning experience. Seventy undergraduate CSD students were…

Brittney Heibel; Ryan Anderson; Marshall Swafford; Bradley Borges – Journal of Agricultural Education, 2024
Incorporating virtual reality (VR) technology into training environments has been effective as it allows training to remain safe, efficient, and meaningful. Welding training is no exception, with research highlighting benefits such as decreased welder anxiety, increased cost- and time-efficiency, reduction in material usage, and advanced levels of…

Kurul, Ramazan; Ögün, Muhammed Nur; Neriman Narin, Ayse; Avci, Sebnem; Yazgan, Beyza – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2020
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of immersive three-dimensional (3D) interactive virtual reality (VR) on anatomy training in undergraduate physical therapy students. A total of 72 students were included in the study. The students were randomized into control (n = 36) and VR (n = 36) group according to the Kolb Learning Style…

Summer Bottini; Jennifer Gillis – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2021
Identification of reinforcers is critical to the effectiveness of behavioral interventions. Stimulus preference assessments (SPA) are a frequently used method to identify putative reinforcers. Given the fluctuating nature of individual preferences, there is need for efficient training of providers that may regularly implement SPAs. The present…

Sturz, Bradley R.; Bell, Z. Kade; Bodily, Kent D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
During spatial reorientation, the use of local geometric cues (e.g., corner angles) and global geometric cues (e.g., principal axis) is differentially influenced by enclosure size. Local geometric cues exert more influence in large enclosures compared to small enclosures, whereas the use of global geometric cues is not influenced by changes in…

Yuviler-Gavish, Nirit; Rodríguez, Jorge; Gutiérrez, Teresa; Sánchez, Emilio; Casado, Sara – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2014
The current study hypothesized that integrating partly observational learning into virtual reality training systems (VRTS) can enhance training efficiency for procedural tasks. A common approach in designing VRTS is the enactive approach, which stresses the importance of physical actions within the environment to enhance perception and improve…

Mayrath, Michael C.; Nihalani, Priya K.; Robinson, Daniel H. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2011
In 2 experiments, 241 undergraduates with low domain knowledge viewed a tutorial on how to use Packet Tracer (PT), a computer-networking training simulation developed by the Cisco Networking Academy. Participants were then tested on retention of tutorial content and transfer using PT. Tutorial modality (text, narration, or narration plus text) was…

Beaumont, Chris; Savin-Baden, Maggi; Conradi, Emily; Poulton, Terry – Interactive Learning Environments, 2014
This article reports the findings of a demonstrator project to evaluate how effectively Immersive Virtual Worlds (IVWs) could support problem-based learning. The project designed, created and evaluated eight scenarios within "Second Life" (SL) for undergraduate courses in health care management and paramedic training. Evaluation was…
