Abstract

Prior work reported memory tuning for potential sources of contamination using, primarily, static stimuli and desktop procedures. We will extend this by testing 2D flat (desktop/large screen) and 3D 360-degree videos (VR-HMD), while using the standard encoding and surprise memory procedure, expecting larger contamination effects in the more immersive settings.
