Summary

Overview. The investigators will collect preliminary data on the extent to which the knowledge gained from the enhanced HH-VSTS transfers to a real-world environment. Following abbreviated use of the enhanced HH-VSTS, participants will perform a walk-through of a realistic environment to assess their learning.

Detailed description

The pilot test will use a quasi-experimental design with between groups and within subjects features to evaluate the generalizability of the enhanced HH-VSTS to a home setting. Participants will complete one of the three training modules in the HH-VSTS and then perform an actual walk-through of a simulated home setting during which they will be asked to identify any hazard that they think they recognize. The simulated home setting is a furnished apartment in Atwell Hall that is used for training OT and PT students. The primary outcome is Learning Transfer, assessed by hazard identification. The secondary outcome is the hazard response.
