Comparison of "Fact-Recall" with "Higher-Order" Questions in Multiple-Choice Examinations as Predictors of Clinical Performance of Medical Students.
Peitzman, Steven J.; And Others
Academic Medicine, v65 n9 suppl pS59-60 Sep 1990
Performance by medical school sophomores (N=106) on higher-order questions in a second year introductory medicine course did not correlate with perceived performance in subsequent clerkships any better than did performance on fact-recall items. The use of multiple clinical simulations may emerge as the only satisfactory controlled assay of clinical competence. (MLW)
