The review reports this finding from a primary study by Campbell and Clark set in an emergency department nurse residency context; the review narrates the study rather than re-analysing it. Improvements were domain-selective: "written knowledge declined, and time to shock performance did not improve." No effect sizes are printed.

"Campbell and Clark [28] reported that spaced simulation reinforcement improved some psychomotor measures, while written knowledge declined, and time to shock performance did not improve."
