LEARNING BY SIMULATION
Abstract:
The future appears bright for the use of simulation in medical education. Medical, nursing, and allied healthcare students trained through simulation have opportunities to practice hands on techniques, teamwork, and communication through trial and error in a safe environment before working with live patients. The cost of high-fidelity simulation will continue to make its use prohibitive and challenging for some programs though the use of low-fidelity simulation, standardized patients, and role-playing continues to have measureable qualitative value. Cost center sharing is one way for programs on a tight budget who desire high-fidelity simulation to access this valuable skills-building, outcome-improving medical education adjunct tool.

Steps in the Modeling Process
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...

Cognitive Learning
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
