This study will investigate how people learn best about genetics. It involves participating
in activities in NHGRI's Immersive Virtual Environment Laboratory (IVE lab), where digital
"virtual worlds" are created that appear to surround the subject when he or she wears a
head-mounted display.
English-speaking men and women between 18 and 40 years of age may be eligible for this study.
Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups, each of which receives a different
type of information, once in the IVE lab. Subjects complete a questionnaire before and after
performing the activities in the lab. The questionnaire evaluates the subject's knowledge of
genetics and tests some reading and number skills.

Eligibility |
- INCLUSION/EXCLUSION CRITERIA All participants in this study will be healthy adult volunteers. Eligibility criteria for the study are: (1) being 18-40 years of age; (2) being able to speak English and having basic English reading and writing skills; and (3) not having taken a genetics course in the past five years. Both men and women will be included in the study. We will exclude women in their last trimester of pregnancy from the study, due to the small chance of study participants tripping or bumping into walls. Because we are interested in how members of the general public learn best about genomic topics, participants in this study will be healthy adults. Individuals who are particularly susceptible to motion sickness will be excluded. Therefore, all participants will be screened for the following conditions prior to enrollment in the study: self-reported diagnosis with epilepsy, low vision, hearing problems, or vestibular disorders (e.g., dizziness, vertigo, motion sickness). |
