DOI: 10.1007/s00464-017-5459-3
Abstract: BackgroundEvidence suggests that Mental Practice (MP) could be used to finesse surgical skills. However, MP is cognitively demanding and may be dependent on the ability of individuals to produce mental images. In this study, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jsurg.2016.10.005
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) is a common operation performed by obstetrician-gynecologists. Training opportunities for this procedure are declining. Mental practice (MP), the use of mental imagery to rehearse a task symbolically before performance, has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00222895.2020.1852156
Abstract: Abstract Learning about the relative timing dimension of a motor skill is enhanced by factors that promote higher response stability between trials. Conversely, learning the absolute timing dimension is favored by lower trial-to-trial stability. The… read more here.
