As the pedagogy of health care simulation matures, the level of guidance provided and types of simulation components included increasingly vary. To prepare students for professional practice, one university embedded Tanner's model of clinical judgment within the nursing curricula and integrated simulations. There was interest in seeking students' opinions of "what matters most" in the design an...

Musicians are sensitive to the synchrony of multiple tone onsets. However, even when several sounds have a simultaneous onset, their temporal relationship might not be preserved at the cochlear level because of “cochlear delays” in perception. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether cochlear delay significantly affects synchrony judgment accuracy and whether this phenomenon is depe...

This paper provides a survey of the terrain of theories of human judgment and decisionmaking (JDM). It provides an introduction, overview, and some insight into the understanding of some conceptual theories, frameworks, and the literature of JDM. This paper is in no way an exhaustive meta-analysis of the literature on JDM, nor is it intended to be. It does not seek to categorise and compare exi...

There are multiple ethical issues that clinicians must navigate in the course of providing psychological and rehabilitative services. Such responsibility requires ongoing decision-making, process review, and adept clinical judgment. Moreover, adjunctive supervision and consultation promotes proficiency and clinical accountability. Likewise, continuous critical self-evaluation helps identify pro...

Hierarchical organizations, in which authority is clearly defined and, for the most part, centralized, typically undertake routine operations in which the bulk of the workforce is expected to perform the same activities or groups of activities repeatedly. One of the main goals of these organizations is therefore to restrain people from exercising their individual judgment, since deviations from...

BACKGROUND The use of lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) technology has become established practice in dermatology and aesthetic medicine. The increase in popularity and widespread use of such equipment has been accompanied by a sharp increase in the number of case reports about professional errors. OBJECTIVE We present 14 case studies of professional errors. METHODS Selected representat...

This study examines the impact of several experience and education determinants on exposure judgment accuracy. The study used desktop assessments performed on several different tasks with different exposure profiles to identify correlations between determinants and judgment accuracy using logistic regression models. The exposure judgments were elicited from industrial hygienists with varying le...

Like every discipline, theorizing in linguistics crucially involves drawing (often tentative) conclusions about the relation between the available evidence and the theories under consideration. At many points in their research, linguists must decide whether the available evidence (theoretical, empirical, etc.) supports a given theory well enough to accept it, possibly over various competing the...

Telehealthcare is the provision of personalised health­ care over a distance. It has the three following essential co mponents : • The patient provides data such as a voice recording, video, electrocardiography, or oxygen saturation that gives information about the illness. • Information is transferred electronically to a healthcare professional at a second location. • The healthcare profession...
