Summary: The N170 amplitude is found to be related to later free recall performance in the process of establishing associations between non-objects and non-words. Smaller amplitudes of N170 are associated with better recall of non-words. The N170 and FRN have different responses to feedback processing, with the N170 possibly related to expectations and their violation, while the FRN reflects other distinct processes.

Summary: Training segmentation models for medical images is challenging due to limited data annotations. Segment Anything Model (SAM) is a foundation model trained on natural images that can segment user-defined objects interactively. SAM performs well on some medical imaging datasets, but has moderate to poor performance on others. SAM has the potential to impact automated medical image segmentation, but caution is needed when using it.

Summary: There is a growing use of e-feedback in higher education, but student anxiety remains unresolved. This action research examines three cycles of e-feedback activities performed by 12 doctoral students in an academic writing course in Macau, China. The causes of students' anxiety when using e-feedback are multi-layered, mainly from the use of smartphones as a communication medium and the lack of interpersonal and English skills. These findings provide new insights for pedagogical practice in higher education.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the impact of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) on motivation and learning of psychiatry trainees. The results showed that the impact of EPAs on learning was mediated by the trainee's appraisals of subjective control, value, and the costs of engaging with EPAs. Positive appraisals encouraged focused and structured learning with the supervisor, while negative appraisals led to a superficial approach. The granularity of EPAs, alignment with clinical practice, and the supervisor's conscientiousness were found to influence trainee appraisals and subsequent motivation and learning.

Summary: The research found that assessments can have both positive and negative effects on student motivation for learning in health professions education. Assessments that stimulate controlled motivation tend to have negative outcomes, while those that stimulate autonomous motivation have positive outcomes. Students often focus on studying for assessments rather than acquiring knowledge relevant to professional practice.

Summary: This study explores how educators perceive and achieve assessment quality, as well as their perceptions of the impact of assessment on student learning. The findings reveal that educators predominantly use traditional criteria to understand and achieve assessment quality, with limited awareness of quality criteria at the course and program levels. Additionally, educators perceive the impact of assessment on student learning in two distinct ways: as a source of information to monitor and direct learning, and as a tool to prompt learning.

Summary: Reliability and measurement error are measurement properties that assess the impact of various sources of variation on individual measurements. Different designs can be used to evaluate reliability and measurement error, based on choices about which sources of variation are manipulated, which are controlled, and whether the entire measurement instrument or only part of it is repeated. This paper explains how these choices affect the calculation of intraclass correlation coefficients and standard errors of measurement using Venn diagrams, and provides recommendations for improving measurement and reporting study essentials.
