Adding a scent cue like the smell of chocolate further enhanced this effect, leading to even fewer candies consumed.

Virtual reality (VR) can enhance mental health care. In particular, the effectiveness of VR-based exposure therapy (VRET) has been well-demonstrated for treatment of anxiety disorders. However, most applications of VRET remain localized to clinic spaces.
