“…It is also possible that the results in virtual reality depends not only on the ability of the prospective memory of the participants but also their ability to operate the equipment. Virtual reality still seems promising in the neuropsychological evaluation of several neurological pathologies (Klinger et al, 2006;Nolin et al, 2012;. Rizzo et al, 2000), and represents a complementary tool to traditional neuropsychological assessment.…”

Previous studies have mainly focused on the use of VR applications in the treatment of anxiety disorders and particularly specific phobias, such as fear of heights, fear of flying, fear of animals or social phobia. However, research has recently started to focus on the usage of VR in the treatment of other disorders as well, including eating disorders and sexual dysfunctions. In the following, an overview of the current state of research will be given. After briefly describing the search strategy, two meta-analyses that are concerned with the application of VR in the treatment of anxiety disorders will be presented. Subsequently, exemplary studies evaluating the effectiveness of VR-assisted psychotherapy of different specific disorders are summarized. MethodIn order to identify eligible studies, a search on the databases PsychInfo, PsychArticles and Pubmed was conducted. The search words Virtual/ Augmented Reality, Exposure Therapy and effectiveness/ efficacy/ metaanalysis were entered alone and in combination with mental disorder and derivatives of the different terms for disorders, particularly acrophobia/ fear of heights/ aviophobia/ fear of flying/ arachnophobia/ fear of spiders/ social phobia/ fear of public speaking/ panic disorder/ posttraumatic stress disorder. To ensure the currentness of the findings presented here, we focused on studies that were published within the past ten years, even though studies conducted before were not excluded if they contributed significantly to the current state of research.

“…For instances, VR has been used in unilateral neglect and hemineglect in stroke (Myers & Bierig, 2000;Tsirlin, et al, 2009), brain injury assessment and rehabilitation Rizzo et al, 2000;Rose et al, 2005), physical rehabilitation in stroke (Saposnik, et al, 2010) and spinal cord injury (Kizony et al, 2003), functional evaluation and training (Lee et al, 2003), as well as tele-rehabilitation (Tam et al, 2003;Rizzo, et al, 2004). There are also precedents for use of VR in memory rehabilitation (Brooks & Rose, 2003), executive dysfunction , perceptual disorders and learning difficulties (Wann et al, 1997).…”
