Familiarization with the laboratory environment, equipment, and test procedures occurred during prescreening.
Familiarization with the spatial environment and the behavioral task are associated with the formation of cortical mental schemas (Tse et al., 2007; McKenzie et al., 2013) that rely on the stability of neocortical-hippocampal cellular assemblies.
Although a proportion of the students will have been familiar with each other through common undergraduate degrees, most first year medical students are likely to be entering a new environment, and would require a period of familiarization with the course and their own cohort before establishing the contacts to explore the resources of the informal curriculum.
Significantly suppressed exploratory behavior in N60 on day 2 suggests that the extent and/or quality (Bevins and Besheer 2006) of familiarization during the exposure to the environment on day 1 was greater in the N60 than N15, and that spine reorganization may underlie memory formation in the behaving animals.
Part of this adaptive process is familiarization with the surroundings.
Acclimatization process was accompanied for familiarization of strain to phenol and cyanide environment.
With the familiarization sessions, odors became part of the environment: their presence was expected.
In the second version - CVSERVFAPS-12 - an evaluation step was introduced during the Familiarization Module with regards to the learners' knowledge about the virtual environment and tools.
The main researcher undertaking the ethnographic observation (MP) was naïve concerning the environments in which she was working, although there was a period of familiarization before formal observation began.
Familiar females, that is, those reared on the same familiarization arena, were marked with the same colour, but colours differed between familiarization arenas.
This familiarization with one partner and "patient" helped to provide continuity to the learning environment, so that each participant could more easily focus on the skill being taught.
