Purpose of the Study This study wants to find out whether a virtual human (a computer-based simulated person) can help nursing students learn how to assess someone's thinking and memory skills.
Main Question Do nursing students learn cognitive function assessment better when they use a virtual human compared with reading printed materials?
What Participants Will Do Participants will learn how to do a cognitive function assessment for about 60 minutes, either by using a virtual human or by reading printed materials.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Competence of cognitive function assessment | Participants are required to conduct a cognitive function assessment on the virtual patient within a designed clinical scenario. The system assigns a score based on the completion of each item, with higher scores indicating better cognitive assessment ability. | 60 minutes |
| Knowledge of cognitive function assessment | A total of ten items were included. Each correct answer receives one point, while incorrect or "don't know" responses receive zero points. The total score ranges from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating better knowledge of cognitive function assessment among the students. | 60 minutes |
| Confidence scale | The scale consists of five items, each scored from 1 to 5, with a total score ranging from 5 to 25. Higher scores indicate greater confidence in performing cognitive function assessments among the participants. | 60 minutes |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Learning Material Satisfaction Questionnaire | The questionnaire includes 10 items and is scored on a 5-point Likert scale, where "strongly disagree" = 1, "disagree" = 2, "neutral" = 3, "agree" = 4, and "strongly agree" = 5. The total score ranges from 10 to 50, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction with the learning material (either the VH-based material or the printed material). | 60 minutes |
