The mediating role of presence differs across types of spatial learning in immersive technologies

作者:

Highlights:

• Technologies with high immersion led to better spatial learning than those with low immersion.

• High immersion also led to higher levels of reported presence than low immersion.

• Higher presence was associated with better performance on spatial learning outcomes.

• The learner's presence mediated the relationship only for survey knowledge questions.

• Presence effects varied by task level, which may reflect different types of cognitive load.
