Extended reality is a set of immersive technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, including virtual reality, mixed reality, and augmented reality, used in immersive learning environments. However, to ensure the utility of these technologies, it is essential to understand the impact of multimedia principles that ensure spatial integration of information, especially in 3D virtual environments. These principles aim to facilitate the learner’s proper use of cognitive resources. To identify how these principles are used and their influence on the spatial integration of content in extended reality environments, a systematic review of information was conducted. The results demonstrate the influence of three characteristics associated with user differences, allowing the establishment of a set of techniques that promote spatial integration and proposing a taxonomy. Finally, attributes of 3D virtual environment configuration and their influence on learners’ cognitive load were identified. These findings can guide the application of cognitive load theory principles in the design of extended reality environments for learning and training.

Keywords : Learning; Multimedia Cognitive Load; Training; Augmented Reality; Mixed Reality; Virtual Reality.
