Subclaims¶

q3 i1 In Study 1, learners with higher visuospatial ability experienced lower motion sickness than learners with lower visuospatial ability. → Birgit Brucker 2024 q3 i? A non-significant tendency emerged for an interaction between interaction format and visuospatial ability on motion sickness; for lower-ability learners the no interaction condition led to higher motion sickness than camera movement (p = .036). → Birgit Brucker 2024 (2)

q3 · i1 · causal · r?

Study 1 ANCOVA on VRSQ motion sickness scores (N=160) showed a significant visuospatial ability main effect, "F(1, 153) = 5.055" with "η2p = .032"; there was no main effect of interaction format on motion sickness (p = .319).

"there was a main effect of learners' visuospatial ability on motion sickness (F(1, 153) = 5.055, MSE = .289, p = .026, η2p = .032) in the direction that learners with higher visuospatial ability experienced lower motion sickness than learners with lower visuospatial ability."

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Study 1 ANCOVA interaction term on motion sickness was a non-significant tendency (p = .061), plotted in Fig. 6; Bonferroni comparisons showed the no interaction condition led to higher sickness than camera movement (p = .036) only for lower-ability learners.

"there was a (non-significant) tendency for an interaction between interaction format and learners' visuospatial ability for motion sickness (F(2, 153) = 2.850, MSE = .289, p = .061, ns, η2p = .036; see Fig. 6)"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Spatial Ability — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
