Feedback focus
PURPOSE: Feedback conversations are essential to learning, and the relationship between supervisor and learner plays a role in the effectiveness of feedback shared. Documentation of these conversations in learner portfolios is intended to support reflection, learning, and growth. However, there is limited understanding of what gets documented after feedback conversations. Guided by Hattie and Timperley's model for feedback, we examined documented…

Twelve tips for applying the think-aloud method to capture cognitive processes
The think-aloud method is an established technique for studying human thought (cognitive) processes. Problem-solving and decision-making are essential skills for medical professionals, and the cognitive processes underlying these skills are complex. Studying these thought processes would enable educators, clinicians, and researchers to modify or refine their approaches and interventions. The think-aloud method has been utilized for capturing cogn…
The Association between Academic Schedule and Physical Activity Behaviors in University Students
It could be more effective to change students' physical activity behaviors during self-study than during scheduled education time. Therefore, offering a study environment that reduces sedentary behavior and promotes light-intensity physical activity, is crucial
Proactive motor control within and between hands
Several studies have reported that proactive motor control in a cued four-finger choice reaction task proceeds more efficiently with a 2-hands motor set (two fingers on each hand) than with a 1-hand motor set (four fingers on one hand). According to the Grouping Model, this is because the 2-hands motor set recruits distinct left and right hand representations located in separate cerebral hemispheres, whereas the 1-hand motor set recruits partiall…
Mentors’ Beliefs About Their Roles in Health Care Education
PURPOSE: How mentors shape their mentoring is strongly influenced by their personal beliefs about the goals and purpose of mentoring, the possible activities associated with it, who decides on the focus of the mentoring relationship, and the strategies mentors choose to enact these beliefs in practice. In accordance with the personal interpretative framework, the authors operationalized mentors' beliefs as professional self-understanding (the wha…
Academic Schedule and Day-to-Day Variations in Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity of University Students
Students starting at university tend to adopt unhealthy behaviors. With students expected to sit during classes, their academic schedule may be responsible for their activity patterns. The aim of the current study was to investigate the relationship between university students' academic schedule and day-to-day variations in sedentary behavior (SB) and physical activity (PA). The activity of 317 first-year undergraduate students (mean age 19.6 ± 1…
Switch hands! Mapping proactive and reactive cognitive control across the life span
We investigated the effects of age on proactive and reactive cognitive control in a large population sample of 809 individuals, ranging in age between 5 and 97 years. For that purpose, we used an anticue paradigm, which required a consistent remapping of cue location and response hand: Left-sided cues required right-hand responses and vice versa. After a random preparation interval of 100-850 ms, these anticues were followed by a target stimulus,…
Automatic Selective Attention as a Function of Sensory Modality in Aging
The results suggest that the modality hypothesis of age-related differences in selective attention does not extend into the realm of automatic selective attention
Spared Within-Hands but Impaired Between-Hands Response Preparation in Aging
These findings demonstrate a robust, structural difference in the maximal preparation benefit that older adults can achieve when preparing two fingers on two hands but not on one hand. These outcomes are discussed in terms of several theories of cognitive aging
The role of sensory modality in age-related distraction
Selective attention requires the ability to focus on relevant information and to ignore irrelevant information. The ability to inhibit irrelevant information has been proposed to be the main source of age-related cognitive change (e.g., Hasher & Zacks, 1988). Although age-related distraction by irrelevant information has been extensively demonstrated in the visual modality, studies involving auditory and cross-modal paradigms have revealed a mixe…
Aging and Distraction by Irrelevant Speech
We conclude that emotional irrelevant speech has no disproportionate impact on cognitive performance in older adults. This can be regarded as a challenge to the inhibitory deficit hypothesis
Verbal Learning and Aging
Older or lower educated individuals may be less able than younger or higher educated individuals to inhibit irrelevant speech when learning new visual information. In Experiment 1, we investigated the effects of age (four groups), educational attainment (low or high), and verbal noise (spoken words or silence) on word-learning performance in 230 individuals aged 24 to 76 years. Performance was negatively affected by age, lower education, and irre…
Cognitive Load Measurement as a Means to Advance Cognitive Load Theory
In this article, we discuss cognitive load measurement techniques with regard to their contribu-tion to cognitive load theory (CLT). CLT is concerned with the design of instructional methods that efficiently use people’s limited cognitive processing capacity to apply acquired knowledge and skills to new situations (i.e., transfer). CLT is based on a cognitive architecture that consists of a limited working memory with partly independent processin…
The efficiency of multimedia learning into old age
Background: On the basis of a multimodal model of working memory, cognitive load theory predicts that a multimedia‐based instructional format leads to a better acquisition of complex subject matter than a purely visual instructional format. Aims: This study investigated the extent to which age and instructional format had an impact on training efficiency among both young and old adults. It was hypothesised that studying worked examples that are p…
