The study, involving 94 children aged 6-12 with ASD, demonstrates significant improvements in emotion expression, regulation, and social-emotional reciprocity after the 28-session, 14-week program.
A Structural Equation Modeling Investigation of the Emotional Value of Immersive Virtual Reality in Education

This study explores the impact of immersive virtual reality (VR) on virtual science learning simulations, comparing immersive and desktop VR for administering e-learning tools. Involving 104 university students, the results reveal significantly higher scores on 11 out of 13 investigated variables with immersive VR, particularly in presence and motivation. The study identifies two paths by which immersion in VR impacts perceived learning outcomes: an affective path involving presence and positive emotions, and a cognitive path aligned with the control value theory of achievement emotions.
