One Step at a Time: Step by Step Versus Continuous Video-Based Learning to Prepare Medical Students for Performing Surgical Procedures
J Surg Educ. 2020;77(4):779-787
This study has shown that the preparation through step-by-step video learning results in a lower extraneous cognitive load. This lower extraneous cognitive load reduces procedural errors during the surgical performance. Demonstrative surgical videos should therefore be shown in a segmented format.
