Deliberate Practice in Simulation-Based Surgical Skills Training: A Scoping Review (2020)
Journal Article
Higgins, M., Madan, C. R., & Patel, R. (2021). Deliberate Practice in Simulation-Based Surgical Skills Training: A Scoping Review. Journal of Surgical Education, 78(4), 1328-1339. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsurg.2020.11.008

BACKGROUND: In recent years there has been a shift from traditional Halstedian methods toward more simulation-based medical education (SBME) for developing surgical skills. Questions remain about the role and value of SBME, although feedback and enga... Read More about Deliberate Practice in Simulation-Based Surgical Skills Training: A Scoping Review.

Age‐related decrements in cortical gyrification: Evidence from an accelerated longitudinal dataset (2020)
Journal Article
Madan, C. R. (2021). Age‐related decrements in cortical gyrification: Evidence from an accelerated longitudinal dataset. European Journal of Neuroscience, 53(5), 1661-1671. https://doi.org/10.1111/ejn.15039

Cortical gyrification has been found to decrease due to aging, but thus far this has only been examined in cross‐sectional samples. Interestingly, the topography of these age‐related differences in gyrification follows a distinct gradient along the c...

Structural complexity is negatively associated with brain activity: a novel multimodal test of compensation theories of aging (2020)
Journal Article
McDonough, I. M., & Madan, C. R. (2021). Structural complexity is negatively associated with brain activity: a novel multimodal test of compensation theories of aging. Neurobiology of Aging, 98, 185-196. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2020.10.023

Fractal dimensionality (FD) measures the complexity within the folds and ridges of cortical and subcortical structures. We tested the degree that FD might provide a new perspective on the atrophy-compensation hypothesis: age or disease-related atroph...

Exploring word memorability: How well do different word properties explain item free-recall probability? (2020)
Journal Article
Madan, C. R. (2021). Exploring word memorability: How well do different word properties explain item free-recall probability?. Psychonomic Bulletin and Review, 28, 583–595. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13423-020-01820-w

What makes some words more memorable than others? Words can vary in many dimensions, and a variety of lexical, semantic, and affective properties have previously been associated with variability in recall performance. Free recall data were used from... Read More about Exploring word memorability: How well do different word properties explain item free-recall probability?.

Science of Learning Strategy Series: Article 1, Distributed Practice (2020)
Journal Article
Van Hoof, T. J., Sumeracki, M. A., & Madan, C. R. (2021). Science of Learning Strategy Series: Article 1, Distributed Practice. Journal of Continuing Education in the Health Professions, 41(1), 59-62. https://doi.org/10.1097/CEH.0000000000000315

Distributed practice is an evidence-based, learning-science strategy that is relevant to the planning and implementation of continuing professional development (CPD). Spacing-out study or practice over time allows the brain multiple opportunities to... Read More about Science of Learning Strategy Series: Article 1, Distributed Practice.

A Survey of Crowdsourcing in Medical Image Analysis (2020)
Journal Article
Ørting, S. N., Doyle, A., van Hilten, A., Hirth, M., Inel, O., Madan, C. R., Mavridis, D. P., Spiers, H., & Cheplygina, V. (2020). A Survey of Crowdsourcing in Medical Image Analysis. Human Computation, 7(1), 1-26. https://doi.org/10.15346/hc.v7i1

Rapid advances in image processing capabilities have been seen across many domains, fostered by the application of machine learning algorithms to "big-data". However, within the realm of medical image analysis, advances have been curtailed, in part,... Read More about A Survey of Crowdsourcing in Medical Image Analysis.

Rethinking the definition of episodic memory. (2020)
Journal Article
Madan, C. R. (2020). Rethinking the definition of episodic memory. Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology, 74(3), 183-192. https://doi.org/10.1037/cep0000229

The definition of episodic memory, as proposed by Tulving, includes a requirement of conscious recall. As we are unable to assess this aspect of memory in nonhuman animals, many researchers have referred to demonstrations of what would otherwise be c...
