Memory can be divided into two categories: memory of events or facts, and memory for skills and rules. These are often called declarative memory and procedural memory (Squire, 1986; Tulving, 1985), or they are often characterized as ‘‘what’’ memory and ‘‘how’’ memory. An accumulation of declarative memories will comprise knowledge; an accumulation of procedural memories will comprise intelligen...

BACKGROUND Medical knowledge encompasses both conceptual (facts or "what" information) and procedural knowledge ("how" and "why" information). Conceptual knowledge is known to be an essential prerequisite for clinical problem solving. Primarily, medical students learn from textbooks and often struggle with the process of applying their conceptual knowledge to clinical problems. Recent studies a...

Some studies, so far limited in number, suggest the existence of procedural metacognition in young children, that is, the practical capacity to monitor and control one's own cognitive activity in a given task. The link between procedural metacognition and false belief understanding is currently under theoretical discussion. If data with primates seem to indicate that procedural metacognition an...

Procedural sedation and analgesia is one of the common clinical practices in the emergency department. The level of sedation must be adjusted in such a way that it allows patient to tolerate unpleasant procedures while maintaining normal physiologic reflexes and consciousness and able to understand and respond to verbal or light tactile stimulus. Although drugs used for procedural sedation has ...

By combining generative modelling with the power of grammatical model generation beautiful results can be obtained in the world of procedural modelling. This report covers a comparison between the two techniques, as well as a description of how they work and how they can be used, both separately and in combination. It has been claimed that procedural modelling may increase the start up times fo...

Interface design should be informed by the application of top-down cognitive principles derived from basic theory and research. We applied cognitive design principles from two domains, event cognition and media, to the design of interfaces for teaching procedures. According to theories of event cognition, procedures should be presented hierarchically, organized by objects or large object parts ...

Article Synopsis: (100 words) The cerebellum is a key structure for the control of movement. However, the exact role of the cerebellum in motor control is unclear or at least highly controversial. One prominent hypothesis is that the cerebellum is important for motor learning. We review the evidence used to support this hypothesis during procedural or skill learning and find that though it is c...
