Implication

Experimental evidence reveals learning styles affect knowledge retention in novice learners using VR, suggesting instructional design modifications are needed.

Key Points

Immersive VR may hinder immediate knowledge retention, negatively impacting novice learners.
Participants' cognitive ability was assessed via Raven’s Progressive Matrices, showing varying effects by method.
Analysis included real-person demonstrations, PowerPoint presentations, and immersive VR simulations for training.
Findings emphasize the importance of instructional design and cognitive scaffolding in VR education.
