研究人员提出，沉浸式可能对涉及抽象思维活动的任务有优势，例如概念学习;然而，很少有实证结果支持这一观点。我们假设，如果心理活动可以映射到3D环境中的对象或位置，那么更高水平的沉浸感将有利于这些任务。为了研究这一假设，我们进行了一项实验，参与者在虚拟环境中记住程序，然后试图回忆这些程序。我们的目的是了解沉浸的三个组成部分对性能的影响。结果表明，匹配的软件视野（SFOV），更高的物理FOV，和更高的领域的关注（FOR）都有助于更有效的记忆。在匹配的SFOV和高FOV或高FOR或两者的情况下实现了最佳性能。此外，我们的实验表明，在虚拟环境中的记忆可以转移到真实的世界。结果表明，对于程序记忆任务，增加沉浸水平，即使是中等水平，如头戴式显示器（HMD）和显示墙，可以显着提高性能相比，较低水平的沉浸。
Researchers have proposed that immersion could have advantages for tasks involving abstract mental activities, such as conceptual learning; however, there are few empirical results that support this idea. We hypothesized that higher levels of immersion would benefit such tasks if the mental activity can be mapped to objects or locations in a 3D environment. To investigate this hypothesis, we performed an experiment in which participants memorized procedures in a virtual environment and then attempted to recall those procedures. We aimed to understand the effects of three components of immersion on performance. Results demonstrate that a matched software field of view (SFOV), a higher physical FOV, and a higher field of regard (FOR) all contributed to more effective memorization. The best performance was achieved with a matched SFOV and either a high FOV or a high FOR, or both. In addition, our experiment demonstrated that memorization in a virtual environment could be transferred to the real world. The results suggest that, for procedure memorization tasks, increasing the level of immersion even to moderate levels, such as those found in head-mounted displays (HMDs) and display walls, can improve performance significantly compared to lower levels of immersion.
