Time pressure in diagnosing written clinical cases: an experimental study on time constraints and perceived time pressure
This study showed that a restricted time limit can negatively affect diagnostic accuracy. Although participants felt more time pressure and were less confident when they thought they had insufficient time, perceived time pressure did not affect diagnostic accuracy. More research is needed to further investigate the effects of time pressure and time limits on diagnostic accuracy.
