Subclaims¶

q2 i? Stereoscopic viewing has a major advantage over flat, non-stereoscopic presentations for tasks involving spatial perception, per literature the review cites. → Skulmowski 2022 q2 i? Realistic visualizations presented stereoscopically may be more appropriate for transfer-oriented learning than non-stereoscopic imagery (Bogomolova et al., 2021). → Skulmowski 2022 (2)

Evidence¶

Skulmowski 2022¶

Skulmowski, A., Nebel, S., Remmele, M., & Rey, G. D. (2022). Is a Preference for Realism Really Naive After All? A Cognitive Model of Learning with Realistic Visualizations. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-021-09638-1

q2 · i? · review · r2

Narrative review statement citing multiple disciplines' findings, especially for complex scenes with high levels of detail (van Beurden et al., 2010). The review reports these as second-hand findings; no effect sizes printed.

"Across several disciplines, it has been found that stereoscopic viewing has a major advantage over flat, non-stereoscopic presentations for tasks involving spatial perception (e.g. Hackett & Proctor, 2016; McIntire et al., 2012, 2014)."

q2 · i? · review · r2

Narrative review attributing this to Bogomolova et al. (2021) on learning complex physiological processes related to anatomical structures with interaction possibilities with 3D objects. Hedged as 'may be'; no effect size printed.

"Realistic visualizations presented using stereoscopic devices may be more appropriate for transfer-oriented learning compared to non-stereoscopic imagery (Bogomolova et al., 2021)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Spatial Ability — outcome: instruction changes it
• Visual Processing — outcome: instruction changes it
