Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The latest technological developments in the fields of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) offer novel and interesting options in the approach to (neuro)psychological assessments and interventions with different populations and conditions. The goal of this Special Issue is to update the recent progress in the field of VR and AR developments applied to the field of assessments and interventions in psychology and neuropsychology, for a wide range of target populations and conditions (from children to older adults, from normal ageing to neurodevelopmental disorders, brain injury, and neurodegenerative diseases, and from community-dwelling individuals to clinical populations, among others). This Special Issue aims to provide a clear, thorough overview of the current state of the art of the latest virtual- and augmented-reality-based advances in the fields of assessment/evaluation and intervention (including different support, training, and rehabilitation perspectives). Papers addressing these core topics on VR- and AR-based (neuro)psychological evaluations and interventions, with their focus on preferred target populations and intervention approaches, are invited for submission to this Special Issue, especially those combining a high academic standard coupled with a practical focus on providing evidence-based solutions in the area. This Special Issue will inspire and provide direction and guidance to both researchers and clinicians in the field.
