Cognitive load/flow and performance in virtual reality simulation training of laparoscopic surgery

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

VR based laparoscopic surgical simulators (VRLS) are increasingly popular in training surgeons. However, they are validated by subjective methods in most research. In this paper, we resort to physiological approaches to objectively research quantitative influence and performance analysis of VRLS training system. The results show that the VRLS could highly improve medical students' performance (p < 0.01) and enable the participants to obtain flow experience with a lower cognitive load. The performance of participants is negatively correlated with cognitive load through quantitatively physiological analysis.
