{"pk":33189,"title":"The Cognitive Basis for the Design of a Mammography Interpretation Tutor","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The purpose of this paper is to present a cognltively-based and empirically-derived approach for the design of the RadTutor, a prototype computerized tutor to train radiology residents in diagnosing mammograms exhibiting breast diseases. A multitude of computer-based radiology training environments have recently been developed with the objective of supporting the acquisition of radiological expertise. In general, however, these systems have failed in several aspects including a failure to incorporate theoretical perspectives and empirical findings to the design of these systems. This paper outlines the conceptual framework for the development of the prototype which includes; (1) a discussion of the objectives and goals of the radiology residency training program, (2) a review and critique of existing computer-based radiology training environments, (3) a synthesis of an expert-novice study aimed at attaining a cognitive model of problem solving in mammogram interpretation (Azevedo, 1997), (4) a description of the results of analyses of authentic radiology resident teaching rounds, and (5) deriving instructional principles for the design of the mammography tutor.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Long Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7nm351pq","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Roger","middle_name":"","last_name":"Azevedo","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Psychology, Carnegie Mellon University","department":""},{"first_name":"Susanne","middle_name":"P.","last_name":"Lajoie","name_suffix":"","institution":"McGill University; Applied Cognitive Science Research Group","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1998-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/33189/galley/24249/download/"}]}
