High scores in the embedded figures test correlate with tissue diagnostic speeded

Abstract

INTRODUCTIONIn educational scenarios of tissue diagnostics, cognitive skills with high GEFT scores are valued because they are associated with more rapid diagnoses, but perceptive or confidence errors can be presented. The objective of this work was to show that students with high GEFT scores do not observe all the tissue diagnostic patterns of Fibrous Histiocytoma stained with H&E.MATERIALS AND METHODSIndividually 63 medical students were challenge to diagnostic miscroscopic with digital image of Fibrous Histiocytoma stained with H&E, and while an eye track was made, diagnostic times of begin to finish was recorded. On other site and moment, too individually a Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) was madeRESULTSHigh scores (Between 25 and 20 of GEFT) n= 35 students) had less time to diagnostic Fibrous Histiocytoma (X 115.1 s, SD = 13,2); and correlation (r = −0.84 P = 0.0041). and low scores less than 7 of GEFT) n= 14 students) nedded more time to diagnostic Fibrous Histiocytoma (X 132,6 s, SD = 18,5); and correlation (r = −43,1 P = 0.037). intermedium scores (Between 19 and 9 of GEFT) n= 11 students) had correlation non linear with shape "U" inverted with the more diagnostic longer times (X 157,2 s, SD = 26,8). Interesting find with eye tracking show how high scores of GEFT, not see clasical cells pattenrs of Fibrous Histiocytoma, but watch only collagen bundles; and those with intermedium and lower scores GEFT watch collagen and fibroblast bundlesDISCUSSIONAs the laws of perceptual organization state that contrast cognitive loadis used for the recognition of GEFT, in students with high scores to GEFT a faster cognitive recognition processes to diagnostic Fibrous Histyocitoma is suggested with similar mechanism, achieving by visual search only to collagen bundles stained with H&E.CONCLUSIONSHigh scores on GEFT correlate with tissue diagnostic of Fibrous Histiocytoma stained with H&E more speeded, using patterns perceptive only to collagen bundlesThis abstract is from the Experimental Biology 2019 Meeting.
