Abstract | The goal of this study was to investigate whether expert physicians' knowledge can be represented in the form of illness scripts. The idea of "scripts" was introduced by Schank and Abelson (1977) to explain why people are able to bring to bear enormous amounts of knowledge almost effortlessly in practical real-life situations. Previous script-related research has revealed that recognition memory discrimination for typical script items is generally poor. An experiment was designed to investigate whether this result would also apply to illness scripts, and whether level of expertise would influence recognition memory for illness script items. Though a significant interaction between typicality and textual presence of items was found for experienced physicians (n=23) but not for fourth-year medical students (n=22), no clear developmental trend could be discerned; the intermediate group of sixth-year medical students (n=20) appeared to have a more accurate recognition memory than either the experts or the novices. The results are discussed with regard to the development of illness scripts. One table and two figures present study findings. An appendix contains a case example. (Contains 20 references.) (SLD) |
