Abstract

We demonstrate how topics in developmental psychology may be taught via immersive virtual reality (VR). We give a brief overview of each topic, demonstrate our immersive VR rendition of the task, and describe the advantages of immersive technology for teaching abstract concepts. We also offer additional suggestions and best-practice advice.
