A Cognitive Perspective on Medical Expertise: Theory and Implications.
Schmidt, H. G.; And Others
Academic Medicine, v65 n10 p611-21 Oct 1990
It is proposed that, contrary to existing views, medical expertise is not as much a matter of superior reasoning skills or in-depth knowledge of pathophysiological states as it is based on cognitive structures describing the features of prototypical or actual patients. Evidence supporting the theory is examined. (Author/MSE)
