- CBT-Darts: identifying cognitive distortions in an immersive VR gamePublication . Camacho, Élton; Campos, Pedro; Bala, Paulo; Pereira Campos, Pedro Filipe; Campos, Pedro; Bala, Paulo; Camacho, ÉltonCognitive Behavioral Therapy is a empirically validated treatment for anxiety and depression. By identifying negative thinking pat terns (cognitive distortions), individuals are able to reevaluate and reframe thinking patterns for better mental health. Building on pre vious research in digital health interventions, we explore the use of games and VR for increasing awareness of cognitive distortions. CBT-Darts is an immersive VR game where players match state ments to cognitive distortions by throwing darts at balloons. By mixing a physical and cognitive task, we hope to create an engaging and fun way to teach how to identify cognitive distortions.
