Abstract:
Investigates whether subjects could separate memories of events
experienced in virtual reality from real and imagined events: a decision
process we term `virtual-reality monitoring'. Participants studied 8
separate spatial configurations of red geometric objects arranged on a
life-sized chessboard, 8 configurations in virtual reality (an
immersive, computer-simulated world), and imagined objects in 8 other
configurations. On a later source identification memory test, subjects
were generally able to correctly identify the sources of the events. A
`memory characteristics questionnaire' was administered to assess
differences in qualitative characteristics of memories for virtual, real
and imagined events. Differences were found that could potentially serve
as cues to help people decide where their memories originated. Results
are interpreted within the Johnson-Raye (1981) theoretical framework
