Since non-spatial factors such as attentional load have been shown to influence spatial biases in clinical conditions, here…

Samsa, Gregory P.; Thomas, Laine; Lee, Linda S.; Neal, Edward M. – Journal of Statistics Education, 2012
Clinicians have characteristics--high scientific maturity, low tolerance for symbol manipulation and programming, limited time outside of class--that limit the effectiveness of traditional methods for teaching multi-predictor modeling. We describe an active-learning based approach that shows particular promise for accommodating these…
