Learning in any context involves acquisition, storage and utilization of information by the human memory system. Teaching and learning in health professions is a complex process since it demands learners interact with a number of novel information and concepts and critically analyze them to make important clinical decisions. Therefore, it is impera...

This two-hour session will examine the role of cognitive structure and deep learning in physical therapy students learning gross anatomy. Preliminary evidence of an innovative use of data modeling strategies for visual and quantitative representation of cognitive structure in physical therapy students will be presented. Learner-specific cognitive factors such as prior knowledge, spatial ability, and knowledge organization will be examined as potential contributors to the problem of anatomical knowledge retention. Implications of this research on anatomy education and the role of cognitive structure in deep learning, instruction, curriculum development, competency-based education, expertise, and admissions will be discussed.
