摘要：
This study examines the effects of different levels of immersion in virtual reality (VR) on memory retention and learning outcomes within industrial safety training. A controlled experiment was conducted using a VR simulation of firefighting in an industrial environment, with varying combinations of immersive elements such as audio guidance and visual management cues. Memory retention was assessed immediately after the simulation and re-evaluated three months later. The results indicate that while overall immersion levels did not produce statistically significant differences in memory retention, specific elements, particularly the use of audio guidance and visual management, showed a significant positive impact on short-term memory retention. However, the simultaneous use of these elements occasionally led to cognitive overload, reducing the overall effectiveness. These findings suggest that the design of VR training programs should prioritize a balanced incorporation of immersive elements to optimize learning outcomes without overwhelming participants. The study contributes to the ongoing discourse on the application of VR in industrial training and highlights the nuanced role of individual immersive features in enhancing cognitive processes.
