immersion theory

Immersion theory, in the context of general knowledge, refers to the idea that individuals learn and retain information more effectively when they are deeply engaged in an experience. This can occur through interactive environments, such as virtual reality, or through participatory activities like hands-on projects and discussions. The theory suggests that being fully absorbed in the learning process—rather than passively receiving information—enhances understanding and memory. By involving emotions, senses, and critical thinking, immersion creates a richer context that helps people connect with and remember the knowledge they acquire.
