摘要: Virtual Reality (VR) technology is used in clinical psychology to integrate and enhance traditional assessment therapeutic approaches for a variety of conditions. It also increasingly the training health professionals, as it provides authentic recreations real-life settings, without exposing students situations which they are not yet prepared. VR systems involve different graphical user interfaces human–computer interaction that vary according level immersion required. In this study, we explore between gender, order establish whether differences usability men women found previous studies modulated by devices perform simulations. Seventy undergraduate (44 women, 26 men) participated study. They were randomly assigned one two following conditions: differential diagnosis skills using simulated interviews with an immersive system, or non-immersive system. The results showed rated be almost same, while assessed system higher. A greater proneness motion sickness proposed hypothesis explain these differences; should now tested further studies.
