Mechanisms and Regularities of Influence of Educational Virtual Reality on Human Thinking

Abstract

The article presents the results of experimental researches of influence of educational virtual reality biological subjects in human thinking. The experimental data show significant positive shifts in the general level of thinking of the subject when answering questions on a specific academic subject, which requires a manifestation of mental activity, and also in characteristics of thinking in solving complicated subject tasks (the predicted level of the sought solution, the character of the analysis through synthesis, the character of the “acceptance-rejection” and other tips). The article also explains some of the mechanisms and regularities of influence of virtual reality on the human thinking. It is noted the complexity of the influence of three-dimensional images of virtual reality, a wide of animation and interactivity. Programs in virtual reality ensure the development of formal-logical thinking due to the establishment by the subject of a high degree of connection between the super-images of VR and the corresponding concepts presented in the text-sound accompaniment. As a result of experimental studies and substantiate the conclusion about the possibilities and prospects of application of virtual reality technology in education are presented in the article.
