Table 2.

Time needed for problem representation (T1) and performance ratings per DVD, for each group of raters

Variable DVD 1 (prototypical, derma case) DVD 2 (complex, cardio case)
Experts (N = 18) Non-experts (N = 16) Experts (N = 18) Non-experts (N = 16)
T1 (seconds) 112.0 (121) 109.5 (237) 260.0 (308) 1390 (110)
R1T1 (rating at T1) 2.0 (2)a 2.0 (2) 3.0 (1)a 3.0 (1)a
R1T2 (rating at T2, after viewing entire DVD) 2.0 (1)b 2.0 (1) 2.0 (2)b 2.5 (1)b

Presented are the median and the inter-quartile range (in parentheses). Experts take significantly (U = 79.00, p = .03, ES = 0.38) more time for monitoring and gathering of information than novices when observing performance on DVD 2 (cardio case). Rating scores are based on a 5-point scale (1 = poor, 5 = outstanding)

Values in the same column (DVD 1 and DVD 2 resp.) with different superscripts differ significantly (Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test, p < .05)
