TL;DR
The distributed group trained over several days was faster, with the same number of errors and the same instrument path length used, than the massed group trained on 1 day.
Abstract
The distributed group trained over several days was faster, with the same number of errors and the same instrument path length used. Psychomotor skill training for endoscopic surgery distributed over several days is superior to training on 1 day.

Evidence is provided that a night of sleep results in a 20% increase in motor speed without loss of accuracy, while an equivalent period of time during wake provides no significant benefit.

Virtual reality (VR) for improved performance of MIS is now a reality, however, VR is only a training tool that must be thoughtfully introduced into a surgical training curriculum for it to successfully improve surgical technical skills.
NatureConsolidation in human motor memory
1,013 Citations1996Thomas Brashers-Krug, Reza Shadmehr +1 more
It is shown that consolidation of a motor skill was disrupted when a second motor task was learned immediately after the first, indicating that motor memories, which do not depend on the medial temporal lobe, can be transformed by a similar process of consolidation.

726 Citations1997Reza Shadmehr, Thomas Brashers-Krug
It is demonstrated that two motor maps may be learned and retained, but only if the training sessions in the tasks are separated by an interval of ∼5 hr, and raised the possibility that there are distinct neuronal mechanisms for representation of the two functional stages of motor memory.

A simple variant of the Timm's sulphide-silver intensification method for whole ganglia is reported here on, and trials are conducted to determine the optimum conditions for the intensification process.

The results suggest that persistent interference is attributable to anterograde effects on memory retrieval, and that rotation learning consolidates both over time and with increased initial training.
Surgical EndoscopyThe transfer of basic skills learned in a laparoscopic simulator to the operating room

The results show that basic skills achieved by systematic training with a laparoscopic simulator such as LapSim can be transferred to the operating room.

Different learning curves existed for surgeons with different laparoscopic background, and differences indicate that the scoring system of MIST-VR is sensitive and specific to measuring skills relevant for Laparoscopic surgery.
NeuroscienceSleep-dependent motor memory plasticity in the human brain

Functional magnetic resonance imaging data is presented demonstrating a change in the representation of a motor memory after a night of sleep, which holds important implications for acquiring real-life skills and in clinical rehabilitation following brain trauma, such as stroke.

This study demonstrates a benefit for distributed practice over massed practice in learning laparoscopic surgical skills on the MIST VR surgical trainer, which has potential implications for skills training in all areas of medicine.

The MIST-VR system is capable of evaluating the psychomotor skills necessary in laparoscopic surgery and discriminating between experts and novices.

LAPSIM has construct validity to distinguish between expert and novice laparoscopists and can be used to discriminate between individuals at different levels of residency and expert surgeons.
Experimental Brain ResearchConditions for interference versus facilitation during sequential sensorimotor adaptation
148 Citations2001Otmar Bock, Stefan Schneider +1 more
It is concluded that interference is due to an incompatibility between task requirements, and not to a competition of tasks for short-term memory, and the ability to adapt to a sensorimotor discordance can be improved by practicing with an unrelated discordance.

Although further validation studies are needed, the Xitact LS500 simulator seems to be able to discriminate between expert and novice surgeons in this research setting, and thus the construct for this setting is considered to be valid.
