04-001-US The Future of Learning (Part 1)

Overall, VR and AR have the potential to fundamentally change the future of learning by providing new opportunities for the delivery of knowledge and skills. However, it is important to use the technologies wisely and responsibly to ensure that they complement rather than replace the education sector.

Biochemical processes

The relationship between virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) and learning cannot be directly reduced to specific biochemical processes in the brain. However, we can examine how these technologies a ff ect cognitive functions associated with learning and memory formation. Here are some key aspects: Attention and commitment: VR and AR create immersive and interactive experiences that focus learners' attention more on the learning material. This results in the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, which are responsible for motivation, attention, and reward. Increased attention and motivation improves learning and information absorption. Emotional reactions: VR and AR experiences can evoke strong emotional responses by simulating realistic environments and situations. Emotions play a critical role in memory formation by influencing the release of stress hormones such as cortisol. These hormones can influence the consolidation of memories in the hippocampus, an important area for long-term memory. Spatial Learning: Spatial learning refers to the ability to acquire information about the environment and the spatial relationship of objects. VR and AR provide the opportunity to explore spatial relationships and environments in an intuitive way. Spatial memory is closely
