Learning the “learning curve”

Surgery, 2015
Fig. The interplay between Dreyfus and Dreyfus’ stages of skills acquisition and Ebbinghaus’ learning curve. THE USE OF THE WORD ‘‘STEEP’’ in relation to a learning curve can lead to confusion. The ‘‘learning curve’’ was first described by Ebbinghaus, a psychologist and mathematician, in his study on memorization.

MICA: A Learning Curve

The Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery, 2020
Techniques of minimally invasive bunion surgery have become increasingly popular in recent years. However, the learning curve involved in mastering these innovative techniques has not been described. To address this issue, a trained foot and ankle surgeon in a university hospital operated on 50 patients using the minimally invasive Chevron and Akin ...

Learning Curves in Manufacturing

Science, 1990
Large increases in productivity are typically realized as organizations gain experience in production. These "learning curves" have been found in many organizations. Organizations vary considerably in the rates at which they learn. Some organizations show remarkable productivity gains, whereas others show little or no learning.

Learning curve of tonsillectomy

Auris Nasus Larynx, 2018
To determine the time required to sufficiently educate a well-trained surgeon to perform tonsillectomy.From July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2008, we analyzed 110 patients who underwent bilateral tonsillectomy. All the procedures were performed by 16 ENT surgeons trained in the same tertiary referral medical center during their residency.

Learning curve of septomeatoplasty

Auris Nasus Larynx, 2009
To determine the time for us to train a well-trained surgeon to perform septomeatoplasty.From July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2007, we included 75 patients with nasal septal deviation and chronic hypertrophic rhinitis received septomeatoplasty into this study. All the procedures were performed by four surgeons trained in the same tertiary referral center.

The organizational learning curve

European Journal of Operational Research, 2007
Abstract A very practical consequence of organizational learning is that the time required to produce a unit decreases with the total number of units produced. Potentially, this thumb rule known as the learning curve has a great practical importance. Unfortunately, no procedure is available to predict the pace and extent at which the production time

Revealing the Learning in Learning Curves

2013
Most work on learning curves for ITSs has focused on the knowledge components (or skills) included in the curves, aggregated across students. But an aggregate learning curve need not have the same form as subsets of its underlying data, so learning curves for subpopulations of students may take different forms.

THE LEARNING CURVE IN LEARNING THE CURVE: A REVIEW OF NUSS PROCEDURE IN TEENAGERS

ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2005
Background:  The Nuss procedure is a new minimally invasive repair for pectus excavatum that was first published in 1998. Modifications in technique are constantly evolving to minimize complications, especially bar displacement, which are higher in adolescents and adults.
