Abstract:Virtual reality (VR) has clear potential for improving simulation training in many industries. Yet, methods for testing the fidelity, validity and training efficacy of VR environments is, in general, lagging behind their adoption. In this study we examined the effectiveness of VR for training Police room searching procedures, and assessed the corresponding development of perceptual-cognitive expertise through eye-tracking indices of search efficiency. Participants (n=54) were assigned to a VR rule-learning and… Show more
“…VR has shown promise as a technology to study performance in several industries, including surgery (Vine et. al., 2014) policing (Harris, Vine, Wilson & Hardcastle, 2020), and music (Bissonnette, Dube, Provencher & Moreno Sala, 2016).…”
