92. No Reaction to Distraction: An Investigation Into Diminished Reality
SessionPoster Session 2
DescriptionCombining learning theories and a novel technology, diminished reality (DR), may support training in distracting environments. DR can de-emphasize distractions and there may be a benefit to using DR in training. However, when a task is expected to be performed amid distractions, removing all distractions may not reflect real world conditions.
We hypothesized that using DR videos to gradually introduce distractions will train the operator to perform in distracting environments. 117 participants viewed two DR videos under varying levels of distractions. Participants completed several tests of retention and transfer. Individual differences in attention were also considered.
The use of DR videos was not an effective method for learning or for transfer of knowledge. Attentional differences were not impacted by type of DR. This study discusses previous research surrounding learning theories and considers the potential use of DR for effective training to achieve long term retention and transfer.
