• Learning anatomy via mobile augmented reality: Effects on achievement and cognitive load (2016, background): “Also, it can be difficult or impossible to understand the internal structures of some organs when standing over a cadaver (Nicholson et al., 2006; Adams and Wilson, 2011).”
• Virtual Reality for Health Professions Education: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis by the Digital Health Education Collaboration (2019, methodology): “For example, it is often used for designing 3D anatomical structure models, which can be toggled and zoomed into [11].”
• The effectiveness of virtual and augmented reality in health sciences and medical anatomy (2017, unknown): “Additionally, 3D models are especially beneficial in cases where traditional methods of dissection may be limited in the ability to educate students on complex structures, such as the middle ear and the larynx (Nicholson et al., 2006; Nicholson et al., 2008; Hu et al., 2009).”
• Using Technology to Meet the Challenges of Medical Education. (2015, background): “D computer-based anatomical model enhanced students’ learning of anatomy of the ear (25).”
• Investigating learners' attitudes toward virtual reality learning environments: Based on a constructivist approach (2010, methodology): “…the questionnaire to be used, and providing the purpose of the questionnaire and relevant factors related to previous studies (Brenton et al., 2007; Burdea & Coiffet, 2003; Holmes, 2007; Mantovani, 2003; Nicholson et al., 2006; Sherman & Craig, 2003; Shim et al., 2003; Tax’en &Naeve, 2002).”
