Study: Simulations With Psychomotor and Cognitive Skills More Effective Than Standard Skills-Only Simulations

Surgery simulations that combine psychomotor and cognitive skills training are more effective than simulations that include only psychomotor skills, according to a study published in the American Journal of Surgery.

Researchers tested simulations that required participants to practice psychomotor skills during cognitive load compared to conventional skills simulators that required only skills training. They found that participants in the simulation with both psychomotor skills and cognitive tasks performed significantly better than the control group in their learning curves and performance on a transfer task.
