Abstrakt: In VR-based cognitive rehabilitation, there is a particular interest in the subject's performance in the virtual tasks in which patients are engaged. This performance is a function of many factors, among which includes the characteristics of visual information delivered by the virtual system. This study was designed to examine the impact of the size of the display screen on the performance in a virtual task in the Virtual Action Planning Supermarket (VAP-S) among patients with brain injury and healthy control subjects. We designed two configurations - Config L with a large screen and Config S with a small screen. Results show that participants of both groups made a fewer number of incorrect actions in the virtual task in the large screen condition. We conclude that, in our study, increasing the size of the screen improved subjects' perception of the visual information and consequently, the performance of the task. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
