Subclaims¶

q2 i? Bjerrum et al. found no main effect of group, i.e., no difference in test scores between one-day spaced training and weekly distributed training for bronchoscopy skills. → Fahl Jan Torge 2023

Evidence¶

Fahl Jan Torge 2023¶

Fahl Jan Torge, Duvivier Robbert, Reinke Laurens, Pierie Jean-Pierre E. N., Schönrock-Adema Johanna. (2023). Towards best practice in developing motor skills: a systematic review on spacing in VR simulator-based psychomotor training for surgical novices.

q2 · i? · review · r3

Randomized control trial (n=20 postgraduate medical students) included in the review, comparing three weekly sessions with three same-day sessions on a bronchoscopy simulator. The review reports "No main effect of group (p = n.s.)"; no effect size was printed.

"No main effect of group (p = n.s.), thus no difference in test scores between one-day spaced training and weekly distributed training."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Daily training on consecutive days appears more effective than weekly or massed schedules for VR-based psychomotor skill acquisition — reports the opposite
• The optimal spacing interval is bounded by reactive inhibition at short intervals and skill deterioration at long intervals — a broader claim this one bears on
• Spaced trainees completed endoscopic exercises 18.7% faster than massed trainees in Verdaasdonk et al. — related
