While it is well documented that the motor system is more than a mere implementer of motor
actions, the possible applications of its cognitive side are still under-exploited, often …

Background Acquiring new motor skills to learn complex movements and master the use of a
diverse range of instruments is fundamental for developing expertise in surgery. Although …

In this paper, we discuss a variety of ways in which practising motor actions by means of
motor imagery (MI) can be enhanced via synchronous action observation (AO), that is, by …

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are two contemporary simulation models that
are currently upgrading medical education. VR provides a 3D and dynamic view of …

Background Accurate implant orientation reduces wear and increases stability in
arthroplasty but is a technically demanding skill. Augmented reality (AR) headsets overlay …

Motor imagery (MI) and action observation (AO) are techniques that have been shown to
enhance motor skill learning. While both techniques have been used independently, recent …

The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an inquiry-based virtual reality (VR) science
lab used in junior high school science classes. The Scientific Investigation VR Lab …

Computer-Based training (CBT) is a widely used strategy in interactive learning and skills
training to provide the trainee with information while in training. Extended Reality (XR) is a …

A growing body of literature suggests that teaching technical clinical skills through
simulation contributes to skill retention (Motola et al., 2013) and skill transfer to clinical …

Immersive technology is a growing field in healthcare education—attracting educationalists
to evaluate its utility. There has been a trend of increasing research in this field; however, a …
