    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Research has consistently demonstrated that people treat\ndigital technology-based environments such as VR as if they\nwere real. This is consistent with neural reuse and predictive\nprocessing theories. Neural circuits that have developed to\nperform real world actions are reused when performing tasks\nin computer mediated environments. The current research\ninvestigates some of the factors that could support users in\nleveraging their existing real world representations. A\nreasonable hypothesis is that users are more likely to emulate\nexisting real world processing if technological artifacts are\ncongruent with their experiential basis. This work investigates\nthe perceived cues of task risks, movement realism and\neffector realism in performing actions. Effector design is\nmanipulated (gesturing, wand, vs. knife), and participants cut\na vegetable in a simulated environment. Participants evoked\nreal world sensory motor contingency when technological\nartifacts are congruent with their experiential basis.",
