Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Psychology
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Educational Technology

Background:

  • Virtual reality (VR) enables controlled simulations for engaging narratives, enhancing emotional experiences and social interactions.
  • VR applications show potential in pediatric assessments and interventions for both typically developing children and those with disabilities.
  • VR may reduce children's exposure to aversive stimuli and decrease anxiety levels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the advantages of using virtual reality (VR) technologies in pediatric assessments and interventions.
  • To identify and discuss the challenges associated with implementing VR in pediatric settings.
  • To investigate the potential of VR for enhancing learning and therapeutic outcomes in children.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing research on VR in pediatric psychology and intervention.
  • Analysis of studies focusing on VR's application in assessment and therapeutic settings for children.
  • Examination of reported benefits and drawbacks of VR technology in child-focused research.

Main Results:

  • VR offers unique opportunities for safe, repeatable, and customizable interventions and assessments.
  • Evidence suggests VR can improve emotional relevance, social interaction, and reduce anxiety in children.
  • Key challenges include a lack of standardized trial methodologies and the need for psychometric validation of VR tools.

Conclusions:

  • VR technology presents significant potential for advancing pediatric care, education, and therapy.
  • Addressing methodological and validation challenges is crucial for realizing VR's full benefits in pediatrics.
  • Further research is needed to establish best practices for VR integration in child assessments and interventions.
