Description
Virtual Reality (VR) is reshaping the educational landscape, especially in technical disciplines, by providing immersive and interactive environments. This paper examines the psychological and cognitive impacts of VR on learning, focusing on metrics such as cognitive load, motivation, engagement, stress levels, attention span, memory retention, and confidence in mastering technical skills. Drawing from existing literature, this study reveals that VR reduces extraneous cognitive load, enhances motivation and engagement, and fosters confidence through practical simulations. Despite challenges like motion sickness and initial cognitive overload, VR demonstrates superior learning outcomes compared to traditional methods.
