Cognitive Load Effect on Intraoperative Learning – A Randomized Trial in Simulation-Based Settings
Simulating a realistic OR environment intensified cognitive load and trainees impaired knowledge acquisition. Incorporating CL management strategies into surgical training may enhance trainee performance and adaptability in similar real-time encounters. Further research should explore optimal simulation realism levels and interventions to mitigate negative impacts on OR knowledge acquisitions.
