Abstract Details

2021, Master of Arts, Miami University, Psychology.
The focus of this study was to look at how quickly rulesets learned in VR would decay after doing a similar task in reality. Alongside this study is the impact that gender has when tools designed for one gender in mind are used by another gender. Miami students (N = 12) were asked to do both a virtual and real maze inside of the SPoCC lab. They were then compared to themselves on how many mistakes they made from the beginning of the real maze trial versus the end of it. It was found that males made fewer mistakes at the end of the real maze trial than at the beginning. Females did not seem to adjust to the experimental setup at all, which was reflected in them never making any mistakes in the real maze trial. Given these findings, more participants are needed, as well as better tools in the setup, in order to conclusively find the rate of decay for learned rulesets.
