Karl Kapp points to research supporting three contentions about avatars:
1) An experience as an avatar can change a person's real life perceptions.
2) Watching an avatar that looks like you performing an activity influences you to perform a similar or same activity in the future.
3) People tend to conform to how their avatar appears regardless of how it is perceived by others.
All this goes to show that the experiences we have as avatars are real experiences, and result in real learning and concept formation. Which actually does make sense.
