SUMMARY:Examining the Effects of Embodiment on Working Memory Performance 
 in VR
DESCRIPTION:Lecture\n\nLinfeng Wu and Karen Chen (North Carolina State Uni
 versity)\n\nThis study investigates the impact of immersive virtual realit
 y (VR) environments on working memory task performance and the role of emb
 odiment in VR. Sixteen participants engaged in N-back tasks presented eith
 er on a computer screen or in VR. Participants were assigned to one of fou
 r conditions: non-VR, VR without mimicking, VR with mimicking, or VR with 
 mimicking and virtual mirror. Statistical analyses revealed no significant
  differences in sense of embodiment or task performance among the VR condi
 tions. Additionally, there were no significant changes in working memory p
 erformance across conditions. While the findings suggest that variations i
 n VR setups may not affect embodiment or task performance, the study's pre
 liminary nature emphasizes the need for larger sample sizes for more concl
 usive results. Further research is warranted to validate these findings an
 d explore the effects of VR interventions on cognitive outcomes.\n\nTrack:
