Training studies using computer games with mental rotation-related content have demonstrated training effects on mental rotation performance.
Previous studies have demonstrated training effects on intake in certain individuals, namely those high in dietary restraint (Houben & Jansen, 2011; Veling et al., 2011) or low in inhibitory control (Houben, 2011).
Studies have demonstrated training that incorporates contextual interference [ 24], or variations in skill and situation, produces better retention and improved skill performance in novel situations [ 25].
However, this was not the main focus of the present study since previous research has demonstrated training-related gains in physical functioning.
Increased implementation of human rights instruction, both formally and extracurricularly, has demonstrated the training's significance not only within academic institutions but more broadly across the health sector.
Previous evidence has demonstrated that training in virtual environment promotes learning in normal subjects, as well as in poststroke patients, underpinned by the providing of augmented feedbacks related to motor performance and result [ 26– 30].
While research has demonstrated that compassion training has positive effects on mood and health, we do not know whether it also leads to increases in prosocial behavior.
Our research has demonstrated that focused training leads to improved knowledge, confidence and skills of oncology nurses [ 18, 19] meaning that nurses could potentially deliver psychosocial care for less severely distressed patients.
However, research has demonstrated that communication skills training intervention using behavioural, cognitive and affective domains can increase not only potentially beneficial and effective interviewing styles, but also alter attitudes and confer other benefits [ 9, 21].
Previous research has demonstrated the importance of training nurses and other professionals on how to make referrals and how to motivate patients to actually keep referral appointments [ 20, 21].
With regard to transferability, a study on IV cannulation training has demonstrated the transferability of skills-lab training in a clinical setting [ 9].
