2. • P: Resident Trainees
• P: Performance on a Pediatric ED video game with multiple
simultaneous patients
• O1: In-service Training Exam scores
• O2: Multi-tasking Aptitude Test scores
• O3: Raw Efficiency in their PED rotation
• O4: Subjective Efficiency in their PED rotation
• O5: Video Game experience

PPO / Validation Question

3. 1. Improved opportunistic thinking (vs. serial thinking) in the
game shows convergent validity with known metrics of
knowledge & efficiency
2. Game performance of opportunistic thinking (vs. serial
thinking) in the game differentiates between experts and
novices
