Strengths:
- high ecological validity
- first longitudinal study
Limitations:
- sacrificed control for ecological validity
- exhaustion and boredom due to repeated testing
- small sample size

Villanova University

- iVR works just as well as video presentation of the topic and yields better long-term results
- provides an interesting and novel alternative to typical lectures
- drop in perceived learning may be due to more difficult post-tests
- might need a more interactive iVR with more user agency to spark interest and enjoyment
