Robustness of performance during domain change in an esport: A study of within-expertise transfer.

Research on the transfer of skill from the circumstances in which it was learned to partially or completely novel tasks or situations is a foundational topic in the study of learning, memory, education, and expertise. A long history of transfer research has led to the conclusion that skill learning is generally domain specific. One important transfer problem occurs when a domain of expertise undergoes a fundamental shift, as when experts must adapt to changes in technology, rules, or professional practice.

Comparing virtual reality, desktop-based 3D, and 2D versions of a category learning experiment.

Virtual reality (VR) has seen increasing application in cognitive psychology in recent years. There is some debate about the impact of VR on both learning outcomes and on patterns of information access behaviors. In this study we compare performance on a category learning task between three groups: one presented with three-dimensional (3D) stimuli while immersed in the HTC Vive VR system (n = 26), another presented with the same 3D stimuli while using a flat-screen desktop computer (n = 26), and a third presented with a two-dimensional projection of the stimuli on a desktop computer while their eye movements were tracked (n = 8).
