Completed

1) To advance understanding about the perceptual (information pick-up) processes that underlie skilled surgical performance. 2) To advance understanding about the perceptual (information pick-up) processes that underlie surgical performance in time pressured environments or when multi-tasking is required. 3. To further extend the growing literature base that claims advantages for implicit motor learning over explicit motor learning, and to generalize these claims to the acquisition of information pick-up (gaze) strategies during laparoscopic skills learning.
