Summary: The study identified that eye-measures were the most sensitive in detecting changes in intrinsic cognitive load, followed by heart and lungs, skin, and brain measures, with subjective measures having the highest levels of validity. Therefore, a combination of physiological and subjective measures is concluded to be the most effective in detecting changes in intrinsic cognitive load.

Summary: This study assessed the effectiveness of simulation training for teaching novice trainees flexible bronchoscopy skills. The majority of studies reported positive effects, but due to the heterogeneity of training features and the lack of evidence on the effectiveness in a patient setting, definitive conclusions could not be drawn regarding the actual performance in bronchoscopy.

Summary: This systematic review examines the effects of simulation-based team training on clinical performance and patient outcomes in emergency pediatric settings. The results indicate that simulation training improves clinical performance in time-critical tasks and adherence to guidelines. While there is an indication of improved survival, it cannot be concluded due to a high risk of bias. Team performance and technical skills showed improvement for at least 2 to 6 months. Future research should focus on longer-term measures of skill retention and patient outcomes or clinical measures of treatment quality whenever possible.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review on the monitoring of internal and external load in soccer training and matches, analyzing 82 studies. It was found that 25 articles reported only internal load data, 20 reported only external load data, and 37 reported both internal and external load measures. It is essential for soccer coaches to select and focus on the most useful and specific load measures, while standardizing the classification of these measures for comparison across different investigations.

Summary: This paper provides a systematic review of recent developments in the measurement of interoceptive accuracy, specifically in the domains of cardiac, respiratory, and gastrointestinal interoception. The paper identifies new tasks developed since 2015 and discusses their strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions for improvement. The authors also raise questions about the validity of measuring interoceptive accuracy and encourage further exploration of other dimensions of conscious interoception.

Summary: Episodic memory training can be effective in mitigating the negative effects of cognitive decline in dementia and healthy elderly individuals, promoting impacts at social, psychological, and economic levels. However, further empirical studies are needed to explore the utility of episodic memory training in these populations.

Summary: This systematic review examined the use of standard-setting methods in simulation-based training of surgical procedures. Most studies considered and described how standard settings were established, but there were significant differences in study design, setup, and expert level classification. Surgical education is shifting towards competency-based education, with simulation-based training being increasingly used for skill acquisition and assessment.

Summary: In this systematic review, the authors analyze the current evidence and trends regarding computer-based cognitive rehabilitation in pediatric patients diagnosed with, or survivors of, brain tumors. The study suggests that this type of intervention improves cognitive functions, such as working memory, attention, and processing speed. However, some studies revealed only transient positive effects with a significant number of dropouts during follow-up. Motivating families and children to complete cognitive interventions could significantly improve cognitive outcomes and quality of life.

Summary: This study identified and appraised evidence on the effectiveness of low-fidelity arthroscopic simulation in novice populations. The results showed that low-fidelity arthroscopic simulators can improve the performance of novice participants in completing basic arthroscopic procedures and may be more cost-effective than high-fidelity simulators.

Summary: The present review suggests that physical exercise might improve or at least not worsen cognitive performance in HD patients, whereas the effect of cognitive training has not yet been adequately studied. More sensitive and specific cognitive tests are needed to adequately measure the effects of interventions in the HD population.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the proportion of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) patients with demonstrated valid performance and determine their cognitive functioning. The analysis showed that around 94% of MDD patients had valid neuropsychological test performance in studies using Performance Validity Tests (PVT's). However, there is limited information regarding the cognitive functioning of these patients.

Summary: By conducting a systematic review of 40 articles, this study found that most research combines subjective and objective measures to assess cognitive load, along with neuroimaging measures. Studies also focused on examining learning outcomes, cognitive processes, and identified EEG, fMRI, fNIRS, and TCD as the most preferred neuroimaging tools in multimedia learning research.
