Despite the rapid growth of S3D technology (S3D) in education, very little has been known about the effects of S3D on human behavior and the corresponding brain's responses over traditional 2D display during conscious learning and Long-Term Memory (LTM) recall process. The present study aims to explore the effects of S3D technology on human behavior and the brain responses during learning and memory using an electroencephalography (EEG) technique. A sample of 68 participants between 18 and 30 years of age was recruited to perform three tasks: (1) Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices (RAPM) test to assess the fluid intelligence ability; (2) learning task to study the S3D or 2D based contents for learning; and (3) memory recall task to assess the memory recall and retention performance. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups�2D group and S3D group, in such a way that their fluid intelligence ability, age, and background knowledge about the learning material are controlled. The analysis of behavioral data suggested that responses of both groups in terms of reaction time after two months of retention were statistically significantly different, F(2.66,125.09) = 4.47, p =.007, ηp2 = 0.087. The differences between the S3D and 2D groups were identified by EEG analysis, i.e., the classifier correctly discriminated the EEG signals of both groups with more than 90 accuracy rate. The EEG source analysis showed statistically significant differences between the groups in the brain regions of BA 7, BA 10, BA 11, and BA 25, reflecting widespread neuronal networks involved in the S3D group as compared to the 2D group in the LTM recollection. In conclusion, it was experimentally showed that the human brain processed the S3D contents differently by utilizing more cortical regions and neuronal networks than the traditional 2D contents, which modulates the behavior of the participants by recollecting the LTM faster in the recall task. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd date: 2021 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85089731246&doi=10.1016%2fj.chb.2020.106526&partnerID=40&md5=cbd0bcdcbedac89c9952b1294a0319a4 id_number: 10.1016/j.chb.2020.106526 full_text_status: none publication: Computers in Human Behavior volume: 114 refereed: TRUE issn: 07475632 citation: Amin, H.U. and Ousta, F. and Yusoff, M.Z. and Malik, A.S.
