Cognitive control level of action for analyzing verbal reports in educative clinical simulation situations

These findings are in conformity with the “Skill-Rule-Knowledge” model. The debriefing stage allows a deeper reflection on action compared with the in situ condition. If an abnormal event occurs as an adverse event, then participants' mental processes tend to migrate towards knowledge-based control. This migration particularly concerns students with the best clinical performance. Thus, this cognitive framework can help to strengthen the analysis of verbal reports.
