Abstract

Effectiveness of visuospatial interference (computer game Tetris or TikTok app) on virtual reality memory was tested. TikTok produced lower free recall scores and words generated than Tetris, with no differences on cued recall or recognition. TikTok interfered with memory recall more than Tetris, perhaps due to the app’s personalized nature.
