Metamemory techniques used in the study

MMT	Description
Constellations	Grouping subsets of medically-relevant facts to produce mulitple sub-differentials
Mental CT scan	Coronal plane, anterior-to-posterior visualization of tissues and organs for anatomic differentials
VINDICATES	Acrostic device that produces differentials by pathophysiology
Bundling	‘Chunking’ heuristic which leverages awareness that certain diagnoses tend to frequently co-occur in a differential
