Methods The Research Capacity & Culture (RCC) survey was distributed to all Queensland Health podiatrists in January 2011 (n=58) and January 2012 (n=60). The RCC is a validated tool designed to measure indicators of research skill in health professionals. Participants rate skill levels against each individual, team and organisation statement on a 10-point scale (1=lowest, 10=highest). Chi-squar...

Individual differences in skill acquisition are influenced by several architectural factors. According to Ackerman's theory, general intelligence, speed of proceduralization and psycho-motor speed influence different stages of skill acquisition. Ackerman tested this theory by correlating performance on an Air Traffic Controller (ATC) task with tests on specific abilities. The present study disc...

This study is a preliminary in the process of developing Collaborative Questioning, Analyzing, Synthesizing and Evaluating (CinQASE) learning model improving individual critical thinking skills (InCT) collaborative (CCT). Research methods this include needs analysis, literature review, field survey form descriptive analysis. The results show that innovation can survive as theoretical basis for ...

Learning to perform a complex motor task requires the optimization of specific behavioral features to cope with task constraints. We show that when mice learn a novel motor paradigm they differentially refine specific behavioral features. Animals trained to perform progressively faster sequences of lever presses to obtain reinforcement reduced variability in sequence frequency, but increased va...

This paper describes a multi-methodology approach used to reveal feedback dynamics operating in supply of, and demand for, skilled information and communications technology (ICT) employees. It describes how a large public service organization has had difficulty in adapting to rapid technological change, and how this has been exacerbated by employee shortages. The impacts of changing demographic...
