Abstract

HIDALGO DE PAZ, Armando; GIL LEON, Mayra  and  RODRIGUEZ RODRIGUEZ, Eva. Capacidad de atención y resultados docentes de estudiantes de primer año de medicina. Educ Med Super [online]. 2001, vol.15, n.3, pp.273-278. ISSN 0864-2141.

To determine the attentive capacity(AC) and its possible relation with academic results, the Toulouse test was applied to all the first-year medical students in Cienfuegos. AC indexes were compared to the results of the ordinary tests in Embriology I, Histology, Anatomy and Cell and Molecular Biology. It was proved that the majority of students who passed all the analyzed biomedical subjects were included in the higher Ac categories. In the individual subjects, the ratio of students who passed the tests was higher among students with high AC indexes. Knowing the attentive capacity of students at the beginning of the first academic year in Medicine can be useful for the teaching work, particularly for addressing the students´ individualities.
