Does multisensory stimulation with virtual reality (VR) and smell improve learning? An educational experience in recall and creativity by Veneta Andonova, Felipe Reinoso-Carvalho, Manuel Arturo Jimenez Ramirez, David Carrasquilla

“…In relation to recall, the results are consistent with the hypothesis that in a stereotypical learning context, a multisensory experience involving VR and olfactory stimuli can be related to an undesired cognitive load for learners. There exists a possibility that the low-technical version of the VR goggles used, as well as the contents of the instructional video may have influenced the learning outcomes in terms of recall. …”
