A total of 1605 articles were identified through searches of PubMed, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect from 2013 to 2023. After removing duplicates, 1313 articles were screened based on their titles and abstracts, with 77 articles selected for full-text eligibility review. Of these, nine articles fully met the inclusion and exclusion criteria for this study. The effect size for overall executive function was assessed, with subcomponents categorized based on the specific assessment tools used in the studies. The effect size for each subcomponent—cognitive flexibility, attention, and inhibition—was then analyzed to provide a more detailed understanding of their relationships with traditional measures. The results revealed statistically significant correlations between VR-based assessments and traditional measures across all subcomponents. Additionally, sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the findings, even when low-quality studies were excluded. These results support the use of VR-based assessments as a valid alternative to traditional methods for evaluating executive function. Moreover, the study highlights the potential of VR-based assessments as a valid alternative to traditional methods, emphasizing the need to address variability in executive function subcomponents and integrate diverse cognitive and motor metrics for greater ecological validity." > <link rel="image_src" href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/img/journals/jintelligence-logo.png?8600e93ff98dbf14" > <meta name="dc.title" content="Concurrent Validity of Virtual Reality-Based Assessment of Executive Function: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis"> <meta name="dc.creator" content="Si-An Lee"> <meta name="dc.creator" content="Ji-Yea Kim"> <meta name="dc.creator" content="Jin-Hyuck Park"> <meta name="dc.type" content="Systematic Review"> <meta name="dc.source" content="Journal of Intelligence 2024, Vol. 12, Page 108"> <meta name="dc.date" content="2024-10-31"> <meta name ="dc.identifier" content="10.3390/jintelligence12110108"> <meta name="dc.publisher" content="Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute"> <meta name="dc.rights" content="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"> <meta name="dc.format" content="application/pdf" > <meta name="dc.language" content="en" > <meta name="dc.description" content="This meta-analysis investigated the concurrent validity between virtual reality (VR)-based assessments and traditional neuropsychological assessments of executive function, with a focus on subcomponents such as cognitive flexibility, attention, and inhibition.

A total of 1605 articles were identified through searches of PubMed, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect from 2013 to 2023. After removing duplicates, 1313 articles were screened based on their titles and abstracts, with 77 articles selected for full-text eligibility review. Of these, nine articles fully met the inclusion and exclusion criteria for this study. The effect size for overall executive function was assessed, with subcomponents categorized based on the specific assessment tools used in the studies. The effect size for each subcomponent—cognitive flexibility, attention, and inhibition—was then analyzed to provide a more detailed understanding of their relationships with traditional measures. The results revealed statistically significant correlations between VR-based assessments and traditional measures across all subcomponents. Additionally, sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the findings, even when low-quality studies were excluded. These results support the use of VR-based assessments as a valid alternative to traditional methods for evaluating executive function. Moreover, the study highlights the potential of VR-based assessments as a valid alternative to traditional methods, emphasizing the need to address variability in executive function subcomponents and integrate diverse cognitive and motor metrics for greater ecological validity.</div> </section> <div id="html-keywords"> <div class="html-gwd-group"><div id="html-keywords-title">Keywords: </div><a href="/search?q=virtual+reality">virtual reality</a>; <a href="/search?q=executive+function">executive function</a>; <a href="/search?q=neuropsychological+assessment">neuropsychological assessment</a>; <a href="/search?q=ecological+validity">ecological validity</a></div> <div> </div> </div> </div> </p> </div> </section> </div> <div class="hypothesis_container"> <ul class="menu html-nav" data-prev-node="#html-quick-links-title"> </ul> <div class="html-body"> <section id='sec1-jintelligence-12-00108' type='intro'><h2 data-nested='1'> 1. Introduction</h2><div class='html-p'>Recently, executive functions have increasingly been defined as separable, yet interrelated components are involved in goal-directed thinking and behavior (<a href="#B7-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Doebel 2020</a>). Many studies have identified three key subcomponents of executive function: working memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility (<a href="#B6-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Diamond 2013</a>; <a href="#B20-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Miyake et al. 2000</a>). However, <a href="#B20-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Miyake et al.</a>’s (<a href="#B20-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">2000</a>) model was not intended to be comprehensive, acknowledging the possibility of additional separable subcomponents. Recent studies have further reinforced the importance of viewing executive functions as distinct subcomponents rather than as a single unified function. Neurological evidence from large-scale brain networks supports this perspective, showing that while these components are anatomically and functionally distinct, they interact within integrated circuits to support complex cognitive tasks (<a href="#B9-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Friedman and Robbins 2022</a>; <a href="#B34-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Zelazo and Carlson 2023</a>). This approach provides a more refined framework for both theoretical models and practical assessments of executive function.</div><div class='html-p'>Executive functions, considered higher-order cognitive abilities, are essential for managing tasks across various age groups and clinical populations. Impairments in executive functions can undermine academic performance and reduce the ability to carry out independent activities in daily life (<a href="#B4-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Cortés Pascual et al. 2019</a>; <a href="#B17-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Lau et al. 2015</a>). Furthermore, impairments in executive functions also negatively affect disease management, as individuals may fail to recognize the severity of their health problems (<a href="#B14-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Ibrahim et al. 2017</a>). Therefore, assessing and monitoring executive functions is vital in predicting whether individuals can effectively manage everyday tasks and activities related to education and daily life.</div><div class='html-p'>Executive functions have been traditionally assessed through paper-and-pencil neuropsychological assessments. These assessments involve a wide range of performance-based measures (<a href="#B22-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Nyongesa et al. 2019</a>), including tasks such as the Trail Making Test (TMT) (<a href="#B26-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Reitan 1992</a>), the Stroop Color-Word Test (SCWT) (<a href="#B12-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Golden and Freshwater 1978</a>), and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) (<a href="#B13-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Heaton 1981</a>). Additionally, assessments conducted through questionnaires, such as the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) (<a href="#B10-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Gioia et al. 2000</a>), are also available. Given the multifaceted nature of executive functions, comprehensive evaluations often utilize neuropsychological batteries such as the Delis–Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) (<a href="#B5-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Delis et al. 2001</a>) and the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) (<a href="#B3-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Cambridge Cognition 2006</a>).</div><div class='html-p'>However, traditional paper-and-pencil methods for neuropsychological assessment lack similarity to real-world tasks and fail to adequately simulate the complexity of everyday activities (<a href="#B30-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Suchy et al. 2024</a>), resulting in low ecological validity and limited generalizability. To overcome these limitations, recent efforts have focused on developing neuropsychological assessments using virtual reality (VR) technology. VR allows subjects to engage in real-world activities implemented in virtual environments (<a href="#B23-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Parsons 2015</a>). With advancements in technology, VR enables natural movement recognition, facilitating immersion in virtual environments (<a href="#B8-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Freeman et al. 2017</a>). Therefore, neuropsychological assessments evaluated through activities provided via VR offer ecological validity. Additionally, VR provides a controlled environment, ensuring safety and allowing for the objective and automatic measurement and management of responses to activities (<a href="#B31-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Sugarman et al. 2011</a>).</div><div class='html-p'>A previous meta-analytical study has revealed significant moderate correlations between VR-based assessments and traditional or computerized neuropsychological assessments. However, despite the multifaceted nature of executive functions, previous research has considered executive functions as a single cognitive function, aggregating attention, impulsivity, cognitive and motor inhibition, and executive function itself, which represents a limitation (<a href="#B21-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Neguţ et al. 2015</a>). This study offers a more granular examination of the subcomponents of executive functions, which adds depth to the analysis. The breakdown of subcomponents such as inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility allows a more detailed validation of VR-based assessment, rather than treating executive functions as a monolithic construct.</div><div class='html-p'>Therefore, this study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the concurrent validity of VR-based assessments of executive functions in comparison to traditional neuropsychological assessments. Concurrent validity refers to the extent to which a new test correlates with an established one when both are administered simultaneously (<a href="#B11-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Godwin et al. 2013</a>). Our analysis focuses on whether VR-based assessments yield comparable results to traditional methods in evaluating executive function. Additionally, we performed a detailed analysis of the subcomponents of executive functions—such as inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility—to determine whether VR-based assessments reliably measure these cognitive abilities in line with traditional assessments.</div></section><section id='sec2-jintelligence-12-00108' type='methods'><h2 data-nested='1'> 2.

Discussion</h2><div class='html-p'>This study investigated the concurrent validity of VR-based assessments of executive function in comparison to traditional neuropsychological assessments. Nine studies were included, examining overall executive function as well as the subcomponents of cognitive flexibility, attention, and inhibition. The results demonstrated significant correlations between VR-based assessments and traditional measures, supporting VR as a valid method for evaluating these cognitive functions. Although high heterogeneity was observed, indicating variability in the study outcomes, sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the findings, even when lower-quality studies were excluded. These findings suggest that VR-based assessments are a reliable alternative to traditional methods for evaluating overall executive function and its subcomponents.</div><div class='html-p'>The quality assessment using QUADAS-2 revealed that four studies had either a high or unclear risk of bias in the patient selection domain. To assess the impact of study quality, a sensitivity analysis was conducted by excluding these four low-quality studies. Despite their exclusion, the results remained statistically significant. Although high heterogeneity persisted, publication bias was no longer detected. This suggests that the significant correlations observed are likely to reflect genuine results, rather than being influenced by biased or poorly conducted studies (<a href="#B18-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Mathur and VanderWeele 2020</a>). In the index test domain, all studies were assessed as having a high risk of bias due to the absence of predefined thresholds for evaluation. However, no sensitivity analysis was conducted for the index test domain because the comparisons between VR-based assessments and traditional paper-and-pencil tests were based on correlations, not on predefined thresholds. As a result, the absence of thresholds did not affect the main results, and a sensitivity analysis for this domain was deemed unnecessary.</div><div class='html-p'>The subcomponents of inhibition, attention, and cognitive flexibility were analyzed separately to gain a more detailed understanding of how VR-based assessments relate to traditional neuropsychological tools. These subcomponents were chosen because at least two of the studies that were assessed each used similar paper-and-pencil tests, allowing for meaningful comparisons across studies. The analysis revealed significant correlations between VR-based and traditional assessments for all three subcomponents, supporting the concurrent validity of VR-based assessments in measuring distinct aspects of executive function. Our findings are consistent with previous studies that demonstrated correlations between VR-based assessments and traditional neuropsychological evaluations (<a href="#B21-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Neguţ et al. 2015</a>). Additionally, the results of the nine studies considered in this paper align with our findings, as most reported significant correlations. However, while prior studies treated executive function as a single construct without providing an in-depth analysis of its subcomponents (<a href="#B1-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Borgnis et al. 2022</a>; <a href="#B21-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Neguţ et al. 2015</a>), our research offers independent analyses of key subcomponents, such as cognitive flexibility, attention, and inhibition. This distinction is important, as multiple studies have indicated that executive function consists of separable but interrelated components (<a href="#B7-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Doebel 2020</a>; <a href="#B9-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Friedman and Robbins 2022</a>). Therefore, our study’s focus on analyzing these subcomponents independently adds meaningful insights. Nevertheless, we observed high heterogeneity, particularly for attention and cognitive flexibility, indicating variability across studies. Despite this variability, the significant correlations suggest that VR-based assessments can still accurately evaluate key aspects of executive function.</div><div class='html-p'>This study observed high heterogeneity across the included studies. Subgroup analyses were conducted to explore potential sources of heterogeneity, examining moderators such as VR assessment properties, clinical status, and age. The results indicated that VR assessment properties—whether they were direct adaptations of traditional paper-and-pencil tests or assessments conducted within virtual scenarios—did not significantly moderate the relationship between VR-based assessments and traditional assessments for overall executive function, attention, or cognitive flexibility. In contrast, clinical status was a significant moderator only in the attention analysis, where the combined and clinical populations exhibited different correlation patterns compared to the healthy population. However, clinical status did not significantly moderate the results for overall executive function or cognitive flexibility. No significant moderating effect was found for age in the overall executive function analysis. These subgroup analyses provided insights into potential sources of heterogeneity, but the remaining high variability underscores the complexity of comparing VR-based and traditional assessments across diverse contexts. Future studies should investigate additional factors, such as task difficulty and environmental context, to better understand and reduce heterogeneity.</div><div class='html-p'>Publication bias was assessed using funnel plots and Egger’s regression test. However, a sensitivity analysis was performed excluding studies classified as low quality by QUADAS-2 assessment, and publication bias was no longer detected, strengthening the validity of the results. This suggests that the initial presence of bias was largely driven by lower-quality studies, which may have inflated the overall correlations. While this mitigates concerns about publication bias, the small number of studies included in the meta-analysis may still limit the ability to fully assess such bias. Future research should aim to increase sample size and ensure the comprehensive reporting of both significant and non-significant results to provide a more balanced and accurate picture of the effectiveness of VR-based assessments.</div><div class='html-p'>This study confirms that VR-based assessments of executive function are valid and demonstrate considerable ecological validity compared to traditional paper-and-pencil tests. Previous studies have shown that some VR-based assessments were direct adaptations of paper-and-pencil tests, while others employed entirely new virtual scenarios to assess executive function. In cases where VR-based assessments were a direct adaptation, the use of VR equipment did not significantly affect the assessment outcomes, resulting in strong correlations with traditional neuropsychological evaluations. This suggests that once individuals adapt to the VR system, the new medium does not substantially influence cognitive function assessments (<a href="#B24-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Parsons and Courtney 2014</a>; <a href="#B32-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Voinescu et al. 2023</a>). In fact, VR assessments offer immersive, interactive environments that simulate real-world tasks (<a href="#B23-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Parsons 2015</a>), providing more realistic and relevant measures of executive functions. Furthermore, VR offers customizability, allowing assessments to be tailored to the specific needs of diverse populations (<a href="#B15-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Jansari et al. 2014</a>). This ensures that evaluations reflect real-world challenges and cognitive demands. These findings demonstrate the potential of VR technology in clinical and research contexts, offering a practical and accurate alternative to traditional methods. Moreover, VR can capture additional metrics beyond traditional measures of cognitive function, such as task scores or reaction times. For example, it can track arm movements and speed when using controllers, which have been reported to be closely related to cognitive function from the perspective of embodied cognition theory. These motor-related metrics can play a supportive role in assessing cognitive functions (<a href="#B27-jintelligence-12-00108" class="html-bibr">Ribeiro et al. 2024</a>), suggesting that future VR systems should incorporate a variety of indicators to provide a more comprehensive assessment of cognitive abilities.</div><div class='html-p'>Despite the strengths of this study, several limitations must be acknowledged. First, the limited number of studies prevented sensitivity analyses for all subcomponents of executive function, which reduced the robustness of the findings. Second, some studies had small sample sizes, limiting the generalizability of the results. Third, although publication bias was reduced through sensitivity analysis, further studies with more rigorous methodologies are needed to validate these findings. Lastly, the study observed high heterogeneity, indicating variability in the results. Future research should aim to investigate additional factors contributing to this variability and focus on enhancing the reliability of VR-based assessments across diverse populations and contexts.</div><div class='html-p'>In conclusion, this meta-analysis examined the concurrent validity of VR-based executive function assessments compared to traditional paper-and-pencil tests by analyzing the subcomponents of executive function, including cognitive flexibility, attention, and inhibition. The findings revealed significant correlations between VR-based assessments and traditional measures across all subcomponents, supporting the validity of VR tools for evaluating executive function. However, the high heterogeneity observed across studies underscores the need for further research to standardize VR-based assessments and ensure their reliability across different settings.</div></section> </div> <div class="html-back"> <section class='html-notes'><h2 >Author Contributions</h2><div class='html-p'>Conceptualization, J.-H.P. and S.-A.L.; methodology, J.-H.P.; software, S.-A.L.; validation, J.-Y.K. and J.-H.P.; formal analysis, S.-A.L.; investigation, S.-A.L.; resources, S.-A.L.; data curation, S.-A.L.; writing—original draft preparation, S.-A.L. and J.-Y.K.; writing—review and editing, J.-H.P.; visualization, S.-A.L.; supervision, J.-H.P.; project administration, J.-H.P.
