在心理学中使用虚拟环境（VE）的好处来自于这样一个事实，即虚拟空间中的运动以及伴随的感知变化被大脑以与等同的真实的空间中的运动大致相同的方式处理。在空间学习和认知等心理学领域，使用虚拟环境的研究益处包括界面灵活性、虚拟体验的再现性以及在线监测性能的机会。VE的应用是多种多样的，但特别有益的经验，可以通过增强量身定制，并在危险的培训情况下，可以避免使用可编程代理人有很大的未来潜力，在培训和人际交往技能的发展，也可能在临床诊断和治疗。在心理教育中使用虚拟现实的进展是有限的成本和可用性，虽然虚拟现实正在越来越多地用于课堂和实验室教学练习。虚拟现实被认为是“一个等待问题的答案”，但问题正在被认识到，因此虚拟现实在行为科学中的应用可能会成倍增加。
The benefits of using virtual environments (VEs) in psychology arise from the fact that movements in virtual space, and accompanying perceptual changes, are treated by the brain in much the same way as those in equivalent real space. The research benefits of using VEs, in areas of psychology such as spatial learning and cognition, include interface flexibility, the reproducibility of virtual experience, and the opportunity for on-line monitoring of performance. Applications of VEs are many and varied, but are especially beneficial where experience can be tailored via augmentation, and where dangerous training situations can be avoided. The use of programmable agents has great future potential in relation to training and interpersonal skill development, also perhaps in clinical diagnosis and therapy. Progress in VE usage in psychological education is limited by cost and availability, though VEs are being used increasingly in classroom and laboratory teaching exercises. Virtual Reality was said to be “an answer waiting for a question”, but questions are being recognized, so that applications of VEs within the behavioural sciences are likely to multiply.
