Abstract:
Acrophobia seriously affects people physical and mental functions. Research has proved that
the treatment effect of virtual reality exposure therapy on acrophobia can be comparable to that of real
exposure therapy, and people are always protected and safe in the virtual environment. Although virtual
reality exposure includes a variety of technologies and hardware forms, its intervention mechanism on
acrophobia is still based on physiological level, cognitive level and brain level. Future research should be
based on physiological and brain mechanisms, further explore new forms of evaluation and treatment
of acrophobia, and reduce the negative impact of virtual reality exposure therapy based on cognitive
perspective and new technology.
恐高症严重影响用户的身心机能,研究证明虚拟现实暴露疗法对恐高症的治疗效果可与现实暴露疗法相媲美,且用户在虚拟的环境中永远是受保护和安全的。虽然虚拟现实暴露包含多种技术与硬件形式,但其对恐高症的干预机制仍然以生理层面、认知层面及大脑层面为主。未来研究应立足于生理和脑机制,进一步探究评估和治疗恐高症的新形式,同时基于认知角度和新技术,减少虚拟现实暴露疗法的负面影响。
