The Use of Mental Practice in Pelvic Examination Instruction.

Rakestraw, Philip G.; And Others

Journal of Medical Education, v58 n4 p335-40 Apr 1983

Four instructional designs to teach pelvic examinations to second-year medical students were compared: traditional sequence, and practice in premotor, postmotor, and combined premotor and postmotor skill development. Mental practice produced better performance on the abilities to list the examination sequence and record findings. (Author/MSE)
