Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? The liver cirrhosis case yielded better diagnosis scores than pheochromocytoma overall, with an expertise × case interaction. → Boshuizen 1995
Evidence¶
Boshuizen 1995¶
Boshuizen, H. P. A., Schmidt, H. G., Custers, E. J. F. M., & van de Wiel, M. W. (1995). Knowledge Development and Restructuring in the Domain of Medicine: The Role of Theory and Practice. Learning and Instruction. https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/learning-and-instruction
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Secondary case-difficulty analysis within Experiment 1, comparing the two clinical cases on scored diagnoses; the article prints the main effect and the interaction with expertise level.
"Diagnosis scores were better for the liver cirrhosis cast than for the pheochromocytoma cast (F( 1, 84)=39.116; p=O.OOOl), though this was not the same with the experts (interaction f(3, X4)=8.450; p=O.OOOl)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The relation between medical expertise and diagnostic accuracy was case-dependent: positive for Case 4, negative for Case 1 (novices outperformed experts), and absent for Cases 2, 3, and 5 — a broader claim this one bears on
