This line of research focuses on exploring the strengths and limitations of virtual reality as a medium for learning scientific concepts (i.e., their potential to convey abstract scientific concepts). We investigate how various aspects of virtual realities (multisensory immersion, 3-D representation, shifting among various  frames of reference

In this line of research, we investigate how visualization may facilitate learning scientific concepts and solving physics problems.  In particular,  we investigate how individual differences in visualization ability affect learning  sciences and processing abstract scientific representations. Our research (Kozhevnikov, Hegarty, &#38; Mayer, 2002; Kozhevnikov, &#38; Thornton, 2006) has shown that spatial visualization <a href="http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mkozhevnlab/?page_id=645" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

Our research on 3D visualization in immersive virtual environments includes the following directions:

Investigating the neural and behavioral correlates of 3D visual-spatial transformations
Training visual-spatial abilities in immersive virtual environments (IVEs)
Using IVEs to facilitate science learning


We are interested in the contribution of immersion to spatial processing and compare subjects’ performance in non-immersive and immersive 2D vs. 3D <a href="http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mkozhevnlab/?page_id=620" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

The research in the Mental Imagery lab focuses on investigating visualization processes and individual differences in mental imagery in cognitive style. In particular, we examine how individual differences in visualization ability affect more complex activities, such as spatial navigation, learning and problem solving in mathematics, science and art. We also explore ways to train visual-object <a href="http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mkozhevnlab/?page_id=9" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>
