Many studies have been conducted to demonstrate the survival processing advantage (SPA) as an evolutionary-oriented memory effect. But few studies were conducted to demonstrate this effect in real-life or simulated survival environments. This study tested whether the SPA could be replicated in a survival virtual reality environment (VRE). In Experiment 1, the SPAs were measured in VREs (survival grasslands, survival battlefield, nonsurvival moving) in which Experiment 1A used the standard long instructions and Experiment 1B used the modified short instructions. In Experiment 2, the SPAs were measured again with the scenarios corresponding to the VREs used in Experiment 1A. All experiments demonstrated typical SPAs, suggesting that the survival VRE is a reliable tool in designing and delivering a survival situation. The potential problems of applying survival VRE to survival processing research are discussed at the end.
许多研究已经证实了生存加工优势（SPA）是一种具有进化导向的记忆效应。但是，很少有研究在现实或模拟的生存环境中证明这种效应。本研究旨在检验 SPA 是否可以在生存虚拟现实环境（VRE）中得到复制。在实验 1 中，我们在 VRE 中（生存草原、生存战场、非生存移动）测量了 SPA，其中实验 1A 使用了标准的长指导语，实验 1B 使用了修改后的短指导语。在实验 2 中，我们再次使用与实验 1A 中 VRE 对应的场景测量了 SPA。所有实验都证明了典型的 SPA，表明生存 VRE 是设计和提供生存情境的可靠工具。最后，我们讨论了将生存 VRE 应用于生存加工研究的潜在问题。
