q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r1

Quantitative synthesis of 4 pretest/posttest simulator studies: 214 participants recruited, 129 novices (56%); "All 4 studies reported positive effect on operator performance." Improvements were in CRL (3 studies) and FL (2 studies), seen regardless of simulator model.

"In total, 214 participants were recruited to the 4 studies and 129 were novice participants (56%). All 4 studies reported positive effect on operator performance."
