S1 Training transfer and adoption
Why read this for flight training?
Provides a broad entry point to XR flight training, educational rationale and empirical gaps. Use it to orient the volume's transfer-of-training questions.
How to interpret the evidence
Only five studies entered the meta-analysis; a broad thematic literature does not mean broad causal evidence.
Screening basis: Abstract screened. This annotation identifies relevance and limits; it does not replace appraisal of the original methods and findings.
