Overview: | In addition to improving performance and decision making skills, virtual reality training allows users to train for complex and dangerous tasks while in a safe location. By simulating stressful environments and distractions, VR training can help inoculate users against the effects stress and adrenaline have on performance and decision making when performing under pressure in the real world. This session will examine research on stress in training and explore a variety of techniques for adding stress to simulated training scenarios as a way to improve skill retention and performance. |
