Frequency-dependent Selection01:21

Frequency-dependent Selection

24.2K
When the fitness of a trait is influenced by how common it is (i.e., its frequency) relative to different traits within a population, this is referred to as frequency-dependent selection. Frequency-dependent selection may occur between species or within a single species. This type of selection can either be positive—with more common phenotypes having higher fitness—or negative, with rarer phenotypes conferring increased fitness.

What is an Experiment?

19.1K
An experiment is a planned activity carried out under controlled conditions. The purpose of an experiment is to investigate the relationship between two variables. When one variable causes change in another, we call the first variable the explanatory or independent variable. The affected variable is called the response or dependent variable. In a randomized experiment, the researcher manipulates values of the explanatory variable and measures the resulting changes in the response variable. The...

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

2.6K
Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

What is Natural Selection?01:32

What is Natural Selection?

129.7K
Natural selection is an evolutionary process in which individuals with survival-promoting traits reproduce at higher rates. These favorable traits become more common within a population or species. Naturally selected traits initially arise via random genetic mutations. In order for selection to occur, there must be variation within a population, the trait controlling the variation must be heritable, and there must be an evolutionary advantage for variation in the trait.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Higher Education Assessment
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • Medical school selection is typically not viewed as a learning experience.
  • Growing recognition of assessment's learning effects in education.
  • Potential to leverage selection for developing competent medical professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify learning experiences within the medical school selection process.
  • To understand student needs for utilizing selection-related learning.
  • To inform the integration of selection into the medical curriculum.

Main Methods:

  • Focus groups conducted with 30 students admitted in 2016.
  • Exploration of students' learning experiences during selection.
  • Thematic analysis applied to interview data.

Main Results:

  • Students gained insights into the curriculum, self-awareness, interpersonal dynamics, and the medical profession during selection.
  • These learning experiences were often not explicitly recognized as such by students.
  • Students require a link between selection and curriculum, plus feedback, to benefit from learning.

Conclusions:

  • Medical school selection inherently serves as a learning experience.
  • Both students and institutions can benefit from recognizing and integrating these learning opportunities.
  • Recommendations include designing selection procedures that connect with the curriculum and provide feedback.
