“…Indeed, the work carried out over the last 40 years in the field of procedural learning (Ganier, 2013) shows that, in real-life situations, instructions consultation alternates with the execution of actions according to a phenomenon called action atomization (Vermersch, 1985). When no particular instruction is provided to the user about how to handle the assigned task, he or she will go through a succession of processing cycles during which reading activities of short text segments alternate with execution activities (Heurley & Ganier, 2006). In a study, Vermersch (1985) observed that individuals cut instructions into "elementary tasks" that each correspond to an action, or a part of action.…”

When learning procedures in real life, learners generally use action atomization strategies (interleaving instructions consultation and execution) and need several repetitions to acquire the skill. However, in studies on procedural learning, delayed execution paradigms (2 separate steps consisting of instructions consultation, then execution) and/or only 1 execution of the task, are commonly used methods. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of those two paradigms on procedural learning. The effects of the procedure repetition were also studied. Forty-two undergraduate medical students were asked to make 5 stitches, either in an atomized or a delayed manner. The hypothesis was that participants who had learned in an atomized manner would perform better than those who had learned in a delayed manner, because the former approach may have helped them reduce task-related cognitive load. Results show an effect of repetition of the procedure on participants’ performance, and confirm the need to examine more than one execution of a procedure when studying procedural learning. Moreover, different outcomes in terms of suture quality and speed of instructions consultation were observed for the two learning paradigms. This implies that studying learning following a delayed execution paradigm may lead to distorted results compared to procedural learning occurring in real-life situations.

“…For this reason, the relationship between a title's linguistic and semantic aspects and content complexity in RA texts have also been studied 4 . In addition, titles are relevant for the initial cognitive representation of the whole text they represent 1,12 while, at the same time, guiding its interpretation: they are, in other words, the criterion against which to measure the RA's degree of informativeness and relevance 13 .…”

Background The purpose of this paper is to understand the reason(s) why Beatles’ song titles are used as titles for medical research publications. Methods 546 article titles have been collected over a period of 57 years (1965–2022) and linguistically analysed. Titles were classified according to three different perspectives: (1) a textual perspective (level of informativeness); (2) a sentence viewpoint (information packaging and meaning); and at (3) the lexical level (degree of accessibility and referential transparency). Result Here we show that the Beatles' quotations have gradually augmented over the years, with a peak in 2002, and then a gradual rise up to 2021, with a preference for using compound (57.32%) and nominal (38.09%) titles. As to the way in which information is packaged, titles are primarily focus ones (62.08). Interestingly, well 75.64% titles are constructed with no specialized language, while only 5.86% titles are ‘language as mention’, that is titles with markedly non-specialized items which appear to be borrowed from the song itself and stylistically marked with the actual quotations Conclusions Our findings suggest that, by quoting a Beatles song title, the author of the publication clearly creates an attention-seeking device with startling effect. Such an approach does not appear to be dependent on a specific period of time, journal, or Beatles song. They can thus be defined as attractors.
