Questionnaires for estimation of CL seem to be affected by participant frustration after failure-a meta-cognitive "carry-over" effect. This could be a general limitation of the subjective questionnaire approach to estimate CL. Reducing CL through instructional design and handling of participant frustration might improve the learning outcome of simulation training programs.
