RT Journal Article T1 Learning generalization in virtual environments: a revision of the theoretical principles from a cognitive perspective A1 Matas-Terrón, Antonio A1 Ballesteros Moscosio, Miguel Ángel K1 Enseñanza asistida por ordenador AB Virtual environments have proven useful (have shown their utility) for process of the optimization academic learning. Equally, it is proved that in these virtual reality environments, the apprentice uses learnedprocesses at physical reality. This Generalization Learning Process is explained by the cognitivelearning theories. The goal of this work is to review these theories,articulating them in an ordered and organised way. Thus an overviewof the learning processes in real and virtual environments is provided,and how these learning are widespread in one environment oranother, and the theoretical reasons that support this fact.As conclusion it set out that this learning transfer is due to the presence of common contextual elements in both environments. This phenomenon is possible thanks to the existence of a symboliclanguage. YR 2015 FD 2015-03-10 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10630/9397 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10630/9397 LA spa DS RIUMA.
