Immersive virtual reality (VR)
technology has brought many new opportunities for training researchers and students. In the traditional training
environment, trainees usually follow verbal instructions (lecture) or visual
instructions (video tutorial, job manual) as certain training methods. For this
research study, we not only tested how much procedural knowledge the trainees could
learn from the VR training compared with traditional media training (video plus
instruction manual), we also specifically focused on how well the knowledge could
retain in a certain amount of time. The finding of this study shows that VR
training can help trainees learn procedural knowledge, and also shows that VR
training can help enhance procedural knowledge retention in terms of recall
error. However, we did not find any significant difference in recall time
between VR training group and traditional media training group.
