Alternatively, we could find that our predictors' strength is overestimated when predicting expert performance because training may overcome basic individual differences; although in the expertise literature there is evidence suggesting that initial abilities, such as WMC, predict performance over and above practice (Meinz & Hambrick, 2010).
This may be explained by the higher number of patients included in the present study, the inclusion of intubated and sedated patients, inherent variations in the level of consciousness among unselected ICU patients, organisational aspects of the scoring, and differences in the neurological expertise of the raters.
In this view, dissociations between faces and objects are explained by differences in the level of expertise [22] or in task demands [23], [24].
To extrapolate the findings in this study to patients at other institutions, careful consideration should be given to differences in the indications, methods, expertise, performance of available ultrasound and CT equipment, and others.
Even so, the comparison is instructive because some branches of knowledge, such as applied mathematics, are distinguished from one another, not by intrinsic differences in the structure of the expertise, but simply by differences in the objects to which the same expertise applies (e.g., calculation in surveying and navigation).
The use of different modalities in the literature also reflects differences in local expertise and experience.
Unfortunately, this goal is hardly achievable due to the divergence and frequent changes of compliance sources and the differences in perception and expertise of the involved stakeholders.
To some extent, those manual procedures are subjective and subject to variability due to various factors such as the completeness of the annotations and differences in curators' expertise.
However, there was considerable variation in the types of treatment offered for both internal and external AIN, suggesting either a lack of consensus about the best treatment strategy among our respondents or differences in respondent expertise and access to the necessary equipment.
