“…We conducted a series of structural equation models with EQS for Windows, Version 5.7b (Bentler, 1995;Bentler & Wu, 1995) using a strategy similar to one we used previously (see Chaiken, Kyllonen, & Tirre, 2000, for details). Models differ in whether a single factor (M1, M1s), or multiple factors (all other models) underlie performance.…”

“…Prior to the study being reported here, we had administered a variety of tests to 5 different participants, and based on those results, we identified the best indicators of each of the four factors (those data are not reported here; only data from the 6th and 7th participants, combined, is reported). Because these four factors are directly pertinent to the issue of the relation between dynamic spatial ability (temporal processing) and PM ability, we thought that an analysis of those factors could be done to determine the generalizability of the initial Chaiken et al (2000) findings.…”

“…simple and choice reaction time, speed of limb movement, wrist-finger speed, multilimb coordination, finger and manual dexterity, arm-hand steadiness, and control precision. In previous research we (Chaiken et al, 2000) focused attention on the four most important PM factors (control precision, multilimb coordination, rate control, and response orientation), based on their role in real-world tasks, such as piloting. We administered several measures of each factor.…”

“…Several recent studies, however, have shown a modest relation between cognitive and psychomotor ability (Carretta & Ree, 1997a;Chaiken, Kyllonen, & Tirre, 2000;Rabbitt, Banerji, & Szymanski, 1989;Ree & Carretta, 1994;Tirre & Raouf, 1998), with uncorrected correlations between .20 and .69.…”

“…Carretta and Ree (1997b) proposed that practical and technical knowledge also might contribute to this relation. Chaiken et al (2000) suggested that the relation might be explained by the role of working memory capacity (a surrogate of g; see Stauffer, Ree, & Carretta, 1996) in learning complex and novel tasks.…”

Preclinical dental school instructors often observe some first-year students develop hand skills required for dental procedures more quickly and more easily than their peers. When questioned regarding prior experience, these advanced students often participated in physical activities that seem to predispose them to adapt their previously learned psychomotor hand skills to those required for dentistry. Objective: This study examines the results of an Institutional Review Board approved 22-question survey of various lifelong predental school activities and correlations to first-year and second-year simulation clinic practical exam performance. Design: The survey was taken anonymously at the Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine-Arizona by 4 consecutive dental school classes of 2017-2020 composed of 560 students, 552 of which responded. The purpose was to discover associations between lifelong activities and practical exam scores that may act as predictors of preclinical ability to develop visualization and psychomotor hand skills required for dental procedures. Results: Higher preclinical practical scores were found to have the most correlation with higher levels of participation in psychomotor, artistic and outdoor physical activities. Participation in computer, musical instrument and culinary activities had no significant correlation, and prior experience in the medical or dental field had a negative correlation. Conclusion: The lack of participation in these predisposing lifelong activities may predict slower development of dental hand skills and signal the need for more hands-on tutorial instruction in the simulation clinic so these students do not lag behind their peers.
