Conscious Motor Processing and Movement Self-Consciousness: Two Dimensions of Personality That Influence Laparoscopic Training

摘要: Background Identifying personality factors that account for individual differences in surgical training and performance has practical implications education. Movement-specific reinvestment is a potentially relevant factor moderating effect on laparoscopic under time pressure. 2 dimensions, which represent an individual’s propensity to consciously control movements (conscious motor processing) or monitor their ‘style’ of movement (movement self-consciousness). Objective This study aimed at investigating the effects dimensions movement-specific learning updating (cross-handed technique) skills. Methods Medical students completed Movement-Specific Reinvestment Scale, psychometric assessment tool evaluates conscious processing self-consciousness reinvestment. They were then trained criterion level proficiency fundamental skills task tested novel cross-handed technique. Completion times recorded early-learning, late-learning, trials. Results Propensity but not was significant predictor completion both early (p = 0.036) late 0.002) learning, during trials predicted by 0.04) rather than 0.21). Conclusion Higher associated with slower well-practiced tasks. For complex techniques, however, plays more influential role self-consciousness. The findings imply these have differential influence
