Enhancing Learning and Retention with Distinctive Virtual Reality Environments and Mental Context Reinstatement

Abstract: Memory is inherently context-dependent: internal and environmental cues become bound to learnt information, and the later absence of these cues can impair recall. Here, we developed a novel approach to leverage context-dependence to optimise learning of challenging, interference-prone material. While navigating through virtual reality (VR) contexts, participants learnt 80 foreign words in two phonetically similar languages. Those participants who learnt each language in its own unique context showed reduced in… Show more
