Title

An Approach For Assessing Training Effectiveness In Virtual Reality Environments

Keywords

Cue fidelity; Training systems; Virtual reality

Abstract

Virtual reality environments fall within the spectrum of training technologies currently available to promote knowledge transfer and skill development. The strength of virtual environments lies in their ability to portray the real-world operational system as an interactive multimodal environment. The degree of the similarity between the operational and virtual environments is typically described as system fidelity. We propose a statistical approach to assess the knowledge transfer and skill development by comparing the degree of theoretical mismatch between the virtual training environment and the actual operational environment based on physical cue fidelity and neurophysiological response mismatch. The proposed approach also enables identification of potential causes of response mismatches and provides systematic guidance to reduce the number of mismatch occurrences.
