Summarize

There is evidence that on average 30% of the population can sense changes before they are directly observed.

Discussion

The major finding is the evidence for what Rensink calls 'mind-sight' or the ability to holistically and subconsciously perceive information in a non-sensory fashion. However, the article's evidence suggests that this apparent 'sixth sense' is connected to the other senses.

Introduction

Wacker & Manser's study is a descriptive and observational study of visual perceptions 'in the field' of professional practice. It was designed to evaluate how mental models (similarity vs. accuracy) and two forms of monitoring behavior (team vs. systems) "interacted to predict team performance in anesthesia.

.. whether the relationship between monitoring behavior and team performance was moderated by team mental model properties" (Wacker & Manser 2011: 257). It was hypothesized that having similar perceptual frameworks of the patient's condition would improve team performance, and also that having accurate perceptions of the patient, on the part of all team members would enhance performance.

Methods

Thirty-one two-person teams consisting of anesthesia residents and anesthesia nurse were videotaped during a simulated anesthesia induction of general anesthesia. Subjects took a questionnaire to determine their perceptions of what 'mental model' they used to structure their team philosophy, and then their interactions were observed and rated by anesthesiologists, in terms of how they performed during the videotaping.

Results

"Neither team monitoring nor systems monitoring was related to team performance, nor were both measures significantly correlated. Similarly, neither accuracy nor similarity of TMM was directly.....
