Subclaims¶

q2 i? The hypothesis that less experienced users benefit more from XR technology was validated in two of four longitudinal studies, with one showing mixed results and one inconclusive. → Iop A. 2022

q2 · i? · review · r3

Review synthesis of four longitudinal studies (n = 4) testing whether less experienced users gain more: two validated the hypothesis, one showed mixed results, and one lacked follow-up data on experienced residents, so no conclusion could be drawn.

"This hypothesis was validated in two studies [58,65], while a single study showed mixed results [59]. In the last of the four studies, the absence of data on UP of experienced residents at follow-up did not allow for conclusions to be drawn, even though the authors reported that “residents felt that the simulator would be most helpful for novice residents” [19]."
