The review reports that "Across all modalities, training interventions improved either performance or safety outcomes", summarizing the convergent direction of findings across the five training domains synthesized.

"Across all modalities, training interventions improved either performance or safety outcomes."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Safety — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• No significant differences between VR-based and conventional training in operational understanding, technical skills, or system usability — related
• Corrective feedback plus either GLA significantly improved students' safety behavior in VR, with no difference between re-experiencing and self-explaining — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Immersion principle: people do not necessarily learn better in 3D immersive virtual reality than with a corresponding 2D desktop presentation (d = -0.10 across 9 tests) — related
• No significant differences in attention or working memory were found between intervention and control groups at either follow-up — related
• Review syntheses: VR/AR most often improved academic achievement and motivation, but sometimes performed no better than conventional technologies — related
• Across the reviewed studies, simulation-based interventions consistently improved paediatric undergraduate learning outcomes, including clinical reasoning, procedural skills and confidence — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Symbolic training transfers to the auditory modality, improving spoken number-word magnitude comparison — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Uni-modal HICRT fitness training improves belief assessment and information integration in healthy adults — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
