"Measured task load in directed observers versus active participants un" by Jessica Devlin-Hegedus, Matthew Miller et al.
Objectives: The use of directed observers in high-fidelity simulation education is increasingly common. While evidence suggests similar educational outcomes for directed observers compared to active participants in technical skills, it remains uncertain if this benefit also exists for senior clinicians, especially in mental workload.
