Immersive virtual reality increases liking but not learning with a science simulation and generative learning strategies promote learning in immersive virtual reality.

The results suggest that the value of IVR for learning science depends on how it is integrated into a classroom lesson. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)
