Effects of AI-Simulated Peer versus Expert Mentorship in Virtual Reality Laboratory Skills Training
This study investigates the effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AI) agents providing guidance modeled after peer-level versus expert-level mentors during micropipette training in a virtual reality (VR) environment. Participants interact with either a peer-like or an expert-like AI agent, receiving tailored instructional feedback as they complete micropipette-related tasks. The research aims to compare user performance outcomes, learning retention, user confidence, and user preference between these two forms of AI-guided instruction. Insights from this study will contribute to understanding how the perceived authority level of AI mentors influences skill acquisition and learner engagement in immersive virtual lab training.
