A training program of differential diagnosis skills based on virtual reality and artificial intelligence

Abstract:

A training program of differential diagnosis skills, based on Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence, was developed to enhance the learning of psychopathological exploration. The sample of the study consisted of 39 psychology students. Comparisons between the experimental and the control group showed that students trained with the simulated interviews program obtained better scores than students trained with a traditional method. These findings suggest that the acquisition of skills can be improved by utilizing alternative learning methods that consider interactive and meaningful experiences that allow for recreation of real situations. © 2010 IEEE.
