“…There are five studies to consider. Three studies, Sas and O'Hare (2001), Youngblut and Perrin (2002), and Huie, Youngblut, and Buck (2003) all found a significant positive correlation between the two. An additional study by , however, failed to find any significant relationship, at least when the SUS Questionnaire was assessed counting only item scores of '6' or '7' as a high score.…”

PrefaceThis work was performed in support the "Development and Assessment of ADL Prototypes" task sponsored by the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, Readiness and Training Directorate under the general direction of Dr. Robert Wisher (OUSD/P&R). It partially fulfills the objectives of this task to use Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) prototypes and other appropriate sources to develop an "engineering of instruction" that links specific instructional design alternatives to specific instructional outcomes and to assist in the cost and effectiveness assessment of ADL prototypes, including assistance in the design of assessment experiments, collection of assessment data, and documentation of findings.Many researchers reviewed or added details to the information presented on their experimental studies. We are grateful for all such contributions. We also gratefully acknowledge those individuals who reviewed and provided comments on this document. Executive SummaryWhile reviewing research on how to maximize the effectiveness of the use of virtual environments (VEs) for Department of Defense (DoD) applications, data were collected based on the role that the sense of presence plays in VE applications. The potential importance of presence is based on a common assumption that increasing the sense of presence experienced in a VE leads to improved task performance.This document is intended as a resource document that presents the results of this data collection effort. It considers (place) presence, co-presence, and social presence. Nearly 70 different measures and over 100 experimental studies of various issues regarding presence are identified.Few of the experimental studies have attempted to examine the potential relationship between presence and task performance. This small set of studies has used four different measures of presence and nine different types of performance measures. Out of 83 findings, 42 showed a significant correlation between presence and task performance, most in the expected direction. As yet, there is no evidence on whether the relationships that do exist are causal in nature.Nonetheless, some conclusions are clear. Despite a decade of research, the role of presence in VEs is still unclear. There is no commonly agreed theory of presence nor are there common measures for this construct. There is some evidence that particular technological, tasks and personal characteristics can influence the extent of presence experienced in a VE. However, the critical question of whether manipulating presence can achieve improved task performance remains unanswered.1

AcknowledgmentsMe gustaría expresar mi agradecimiento a todas las personas que me han apoyado para que este trabajo saliera adelante.En primer lugar, quiero agradecerle a mi director de tesis, Mariano Alcañiz, por haber confiado siempre en mí, por toda su ayuda y por haber creído en este proyecto.También me gustaría dar las gracias a todos mis compañeros de LabHuman durante estos años. Ha sido mucho tiempo el que hemos pasado juntos y su presencia siempre ha hecho más llevadero y agradable el trabajo.También ha sido fundamental el apoyo del equipo de LabPsitec, con tantos proyectos juntos, tantos congresos y tantos buenos consejos. Muchas gracias.Por otra parte, quiero transmitir un agradecimiento especial a todas las personas que han participado de una u otra manera en el desarrollo de este trabajo.Sobre todo, quiero agradecer a Pepe Tembl y Vera Parkhutik, doctores del Hospital Universitari la Fe, por las tardes pasadas en el Politécnico para poder llevar a cabo todas las sesiones experimentales y por toda su ayuda.vi También quiero dar las gracias a Valery Naranjo y Xavier Bornàs, por su apoyo y consejos en los análisis de las señales.Otra persona que cabe destacar y sin la cual no se hubiera podido llevar a cabo este proyecto ha sido José Lores, de la empresa Almevan, S.L. Le agradezco todas sus facilidades para poder disponer del equipo de Doppler Transcraneal utilizado en las pruebas.Y, porúltimo, pero no menos importante, quiero transmitir mi más sincero agradecimiento a todas las personas que voluntariamente han pasado por los experimentos que se han llevado a cabo en la presente tesis.También me gustaría dar las gracias a todas las personas de mi entorno personal, amigos y familia, que han estado a mi lado durante este tiempo.Quiero dar las gracias a José María, María José, César y David, por escucharme, por sus consejos y por su apoyo durante toda esta etapa.También me gustaría acordarme en estos agradecimientos de mis abuelos Antonio y Remedios y de mi tía Gloria, a los que tengo tan presentes, por todo su amor y por su capacidad de emocionarse con mis estudios aunque no los comprendieran.Me gustaría dar las gracias especialmente a mis padres Juan y Clotilde, porque han estado siempre a mi lado y todo lo que me han transmitido desde niña ha sido la base que ha hecho posible que esta tesis se llevara a cabo. También quiero darle las gracias a Pablo y Mari Carmen, que comprenden muy bien el camino que he tenido que recorrer para llegar aquí.Finalmente, doy las gracias a Jose, por darme la fuerza para poder llevar a cabo mis proyectos, por estar a mi lado siempre, por comprenderme, por apoyarme... Sencillamente, gracias por estar ahí. vii ResumenEl concepto de presencia, entendida como la sensación de "estar ahí", en un entorno virtual, aunque se esté físicamente en un lugar diferente (por ejemplo, en el laboratorio), ha sido ampliamente estudiado en elámbito de la realidad virtual para comprender mejor los mecanismos psicológicos que acompañan a las experiencias virtuales.En la literatura, se han propue...
