aVR: virtual reality.
bWilliams et al [55] replicated the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test and multitasking task but did not explicitly state the cognitive constructs that the VR task was assessing. For this reason, the paper has not been assigned a target construct.
cN/A: not applicable.
dThe VR task involved 42 VR mini-games that assessed various cognitive constructs. In total, 4 mini-games and their target constructs were documented and included in this table; however, the comparative assessments were not provided, and an extensive list of all 42 mini-games was not provided.
