Table 3 Accuracy on the Odd number “divided attention” task.

From: Adding tactile feedback increases avatar ownership and makes virtual reality more effective at reducing pain in a randomized crossover study

Accuracy on the odd number divided attention test

No VR

VR + no real water

VR + yes real water

Wilcoxon signed rank test

“No VR versus VR + No real water”

9.34 (1.01) (93% accurate)

8.35 (1.54) (84% accurate)

 

Z = 4.43, p < 0.001

“No VR versus VR + Yes real water”

9.34 (1.01) (93% accurate)

 

8.19 (1.77) 82% accurate

Z = 3.91, p < 0.001

“VR + No real water” versus “VR + Yes real water”

 

8.35 (1.54) (84% accurate)

8.19 (1.77) (82% accurate)

Z = 0.89, p > 0.05 NS

  1. We predicted participants would be less accurate during VR than during No VR, and would be least accurate during VR + Yes real water. Means (SD).
