The Role of Visual Detail during Situated Memory Recall within a Virtual Reality Environment
Joel Harman, Ross Andrew Brown, Daniel Johnson, Selen Türkay · 2019
Accurately eliciting long-term procedural knowledge continues to be a non-trivial challenge. In this project, we continued an exploration into a novel approach that provides users with virtual stimuli during the elicitation process. Specifically, users were placed into a virtual reality (VR) environment, representing a real-world location, and asked to role-play a familiar task while verbally describing each action they were simulating. This approach has previously shown promise when compared with context-devoid methods, but no research has yet considered whether the detail of the provided virtual stimuli may meaningfully affect recall performance.
