Evaluación Psicológica, Realidad Virtual, Revisión Sistemática

Resumen

Introducción: La Realidad Virtual (RV) se sitúa como una de las herramientas más prometedoras para la evaluación psicológica. No obstante, su utilización en la práctica todavía presenta resultados poco concluyentes. Objetivos: Analizar la literatura científica existente sobre la aplicación de la RV en el campo de la evaluación psicológica, publicada entre los años 2011 y 2021. Se propone describir las tendencias actuales del uso de RV en este campo y los posibles beneficios que brindan estas tecnologías. Metodología: La muestra estuvo compuesta por 44 artículos científicos. Resultados:Se evidencia un constante interés en la temática a lo largo de los últimos años, el cual alcanza su pico en 2018; además, se identificó a España como uno de los países que lideran este campo de investigación. Se observan tendencias al desarrollo y diseño de herramientas de RV en las áreas de Neuropsicología y Psicología Clínica. Conclusión: El papel de la RV en la evaluación psicológica está cada vez más consolidado, debido a que permite generar experiencias inmersivas y controladas, adecuadas al estudio de distintos procesos psicológicos. Finalmente, se proponen algunas líneas de investigaciones futuras que permitan expandir los conocimientos y progresos expuestos en la revisión.
