What is Effect of VR on moral behavior learning ?
@Hamidarvand VR? Variable Ratio (of reinforcement)? Or something else entirely?
@jennyadams
Reinforcement;
The hypothesis is that the use of VR (with the modulating variable of creativity) reinforce moral behavior

I can only speak as an animal behaviourist, but I think the answer is in the question.
A positive reinforcer by the very nature of it reinforces behaviour. A variable schedule is the most powerful over the longterm because it produces behaviour which is highly resistant to extinction. Hence gambling addictions!

I am very dubious about using animal studies to "manage" human behaviour though, such does not have a glorious history. Humans, unlike pigeons, require a degree of buy-in and respect that simply reinforcing what the trainer is after doesn't do a good job to provide, I think. So, absolutely no harm in using rewards with humans, but they need to be aware of what's being done to them, I think they need to be informed and consenting.
@jennyadams yes of course , I agree that
Scientific ethics should be given more attention in such researches...
