Fig 11. Relationship between pre-training score and initial simulator score.

The correlation between error rating pre-training (as measured by expert dentists) and initial simulator performance (as measured by simulator error ratings on day 1). (a) All samples, no correlation. (b) Influence of 3D rendering mode. Stereo 3D shows a positive and mono 3D a negative correlation. (c) Influence of hand-tool alignment. Alignment shows a positive and misalignment a negative correlation. (d) Influence of condition groups. The combination of stereo 3D & aligned (group 1) shows a moderate positive correlation.
