Overview. The investigators will collect preliminary data on the extent to which the knowledge gained from the enhanced HH-VSTS transfers to a real-world environment. Following abbreviated use of the enhanced HH-VSTS, participants will perform a walk-through of a realistic environment to assess their learning.
The pilot test will use a quasi-experimental design with between groups and within subjects features to evaluate the generalizability of the enhanced HH-VSTS to a home setting. Participants will complete one of the three training modules in the HH-VSTS and then perform an actual walk-through of a simulated home setting during which they will be asked to identify any hazard that they think they recognize. The simulated home setting is a furnished apartment in Atwell Hall that is used for training OT and PT students. The primary outcome is Learning Transfer, assessed by hazard identification. Th…
