Therefore, performance on\n TQ<\/jats:styled-content>\n may predict how effectively medical school applicants will organise and store knowledge they acquire during medical training to support their work as doctors.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objectives<\/jats:title>\n \n This study was designed to determine whether\n TQ<\/jats:styled-content>\n game performance on medical school entrance predicts performance on a clinical performance examination near graduation.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n This prospective, longitudinal, observational study involved each medical student in one class playing a game of\n TQ<\/jats:styled-content>\n on a non\u2010medical topic during the first week of medical school. Near graduation, these students completed a 14\u2010case clinical performance examination. Performance on the\n TQ<\/jats:styled-content>\n task was compared with performance on the clinical performance examination.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n The 24 students who exhibited a logical approach to the\n TQ<\/jats:styled-content>\n task performed better on all senior clinical performance examination measures than did the 26 students who exhibited a random approach. Approach to the task was a better predictor of senior examination diagnosis justification performance than was the Medical College Admission Test (\n MCAT<\/jats:styled-content>\n ) Biological Science Test score and accounts for a substantial amount of score variation not attributable to a co\u2010relationship with\n MCAT<\/jats:styled-content>\n Biological Science Test performance.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n \n Approach to the\n TQ<\/jats:styled-content>\n task appears to be one reasonable indicator of how students process and store knowledge acquired in their everyday lives and may be a useful predictor of how they will process the knowledge acquired during medical training. The\n TQ<\/jats:styled-content>\n task can be fitted into one slot of a mini medical interview.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/medu.12758","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,22]],"date-time":"2015-08-22T01:42:08Z","timestamp":1440207728000},"page":"920-927","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Twenty Questions game performance on medical school entrance predicts clinical performance"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Reed G","family":"Williams","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Indiana University School of Medicine Indianapolis IN USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Debra L","family":"Klamen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Education Southern Illinois University Springfield IL USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ACM.0000249878.25186.b7"},{"volume-title":"The Nature of Knowledge","year":"1982","author":"White AR","key":"e_1_2_10_3_1"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/h0054376"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/h0059791"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/h0046724"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/geronj\/35.4.559"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/geronj\/38.1.78"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/geronj\/38.1.72"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2923.1987.tb01407.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00001888-199201000-00009"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/ACM.0b013e31825cfcff"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/ACM.0000000000000215"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0013164496056005002"}],"container-title":["Medical Education"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fmedu.12758","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/asmepublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/medu.12758","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,9]],"date-time":"2025-11-09T10:43:45Z","timestamp":1762685025000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/asmepublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/medu.12758"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,22]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"9","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2015,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/medu.12758"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/medu.12758","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0308-0110","1365-2923"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0308-0110"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1365-2923"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,22]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2014-12-30","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2015-03-30","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2015-08-22","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
