Background: The integration of immersive virtual reality (IVR) in educational contexts marks a substantial shift in learning environments. However, as students transition from traditional physical classrooms to virtual settings, they frequently encounter the “Transposition Challenge,” losing access to familiar self-regulatory supports such as notes, clocks, and peer cues. This regulatory void can elevate extraneous cognitive load and disrupt emotional equilibrium.

This Research Topic aims to advance theoretical and practical approaches that enable learners to better plan, monitor, and reflect within VR-mediated educational ecosystems. Key objectives include investigating how integrated cognitive and affective scaffolds—whether built into the environment or delivered via AI—can restore effective self-regulation and promote adaptive emotional responses.

Themes include: Design of diegetic scaffolds for self-regulated learning, AI-driven co-regulation, mediating role of presence and embodiment on achievement emotions (CAMIL), action research on ecological validity, influence of avatar congruence, and methodological innovations for monitoring cognitive load and emotional regulation in VR.

Cette collaboration transdisciplinaire explore l'impact des stimuli visuels et sonores sur la perception gustative au sein d'environnements de Réalité Mixte (MR). Nos travaux conjoints portent notamment sur la modulation de la perception (ex: sensations de sucré ou d'acidité) en altérant les caractéristiques visuelles (couleur, forme) et le contexte interactif d'aliments réels (comme des snacks de pomme déshydratée). Ces recherches s'inscrivent dans une approche innovante à la croisée des sciences cognitives, de l'évaluation sensorielle, et de l'interaction humain-machine.
