Abstract
This study examines how three-dimensional virtual fitting room (VFR) stimuli can influence older adults' spatial visualization abilities. A total of 821 adults aged 60 and older participated in the online study. Paper folding tests were administered before and after exposure to interactive, screen-based VFR stimuli. The results showed that the stimuli led to greater training gains in the experimental group. Lower pre-test scores were predictive of a greater training gain and there was no gender difference in the training gain. Findings contribute to providing strategies to positively influence spatial visualization abilities for older adults using the VFR stimuli.
