Learning to diagnose X-rays: a neuroscientific study of practice-related activation changes in the prefrontal cortex.

Published in: Diagnosis (Berlin, Germany) (2021)

The results suggest that learning to diagnose X-rays is associated with a significant decrease in PFC activity. In terms of dual-process theory, these findings support the notion that students initially rely more on slow analytical system-2 reasoning. As expertise develops, system-2 reasoning transitions into faster and automatic system-1 reasoning.
