User Experience, System Usability, and Feasibility of Two Novel Immersive Virtual Reality Memory Tasks for Cognitive Training: A Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: The implementation of effective, non-pharmacological interventions for enhancing cognitive function is a critical area of research. This pilot study evaluates the usability, feasibility, and acceptance of two novel immersive virtual reality (IVR) memory tasks designed for cognitive training. Materials and Methods: Thirty-three healthy young volunteers (mean age 20 ± 1.5 years) participated in a single session that included two IVR tasks: a "Virtual Face Name Memory Task" for long-term associative memory and a "Virtual Object Location Memory Task" for visuo-spatial working memory.
