“…There are systems created for evaluating spatial memory in humans. Most of them are based on tasks that have been previously used in animal research [10–12]. These systems introduce the user into a virtual environment, where the user can move and interact with the systems.…”

“…Almost all applications that are developed for the assessment of spatial memory are based on squared virtual environments; however, there are other works that have opted for environments with a different geometric shape. For example, Cimadevilla et al [12] chose a circular environment. With this circular wall, the users could not use the four walls of a squared environment to help their orientation.…”

MnemoCity Task: Assessment of Childrens Spatial Memory Using Stereoscopy and Virtual Environments

et al. 2016

This paper presents the MnemoCity task, which is a 3D application that introduces the user into a totally 3D virtual environment to evaluate spatial short-term memory. A study has been carried out to validate the MnemoCity task for the assessment of spatial short-term memory in children, by comparing the children’s performance in the developed task with current approaches. A total of 160 children participated in the study. The task incorporates two types of interaction: one based on standard interaction and another one based on natural interaction involving physical movement by the user. There were no statistically significant differences in the results of the task using the two types of interaction. Furthermore, statistically significant differences were not found in relation to gender. The correlations between scores were obtained using the MnemoCity task and a traditional procedure for assessing spatial short-term memory. Those results revealed that the type of interaction used did not affect the performance of children in the MnemoCity task.

“…VR has already been used for the same purpose. However, those VR systems often introduce the users into an environment in which they can move and interact by using traditional devices (e.g., computer screens, mouses or keyboards) (Maguire, Nannery, and Spiers 2006;Koenig et al 2011;Cáno-vas, Fernández-García, and Cimadevilla 2011;Cimadevilla et al 2011). This not natural interaction could affect the correct performance on the task (Foreman 2010; Loomis, Blascovich, and Beall 1999).…”

An immersive virtual reality task with physical movement for the assessment of spatial memory

Virtual Reality (VR) has not yet been exploited in the assessment of spatial memory. Current VR systems for the assessment of spatial memory include interaction by using traditional devices (e.g., computer screens, mouses or keyboards). This classical type of interaction with the system is ineffective because the user's sense of presence is very poor. If the user does not have the feeling of "being there" in the virtual environment, the spatial memory may not be assessed correctly. The user's physical movement can contribute to a high level of presence. Therefore, by developing a system that allows the participants to become active in a virtual environment, spatial memory can be assessed as the same way it could be evaluated in a real environment. Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisors Prof. M. Carmen Juan and Dr. Magdalena Méndez López for the continuous support of my Ph.D. thesis and related research, for their patience, motivation, and immense knowledge. Their guidance helped me during the realization of this Ph.D. I would also like to extend my thanks to my lab mates of the
