"Studying cognitive reappraisal as an antidote to the effect of negative emotions on medical residents' learning: a randomized experiment".

Background: Medical trainees often encounter situations that trigger emotional reactions which may hinder learning. Evidence of this effect on medical trainees is scarce and whether it could be counteracted is unclear. This study investigated the effect of negative emotions on medical residents' learning and whether cognitive reappraisal counteracts it.

Influence of negative emotions on residents' learning of scientific information: an experimental study.

Introduction: Medical training is consistently described as emotionally challenging. Students commonly encounter situations that are likely to trigger emotional reactions, but the influence of emotional reactions to these situations on learning is unclear. This experiment examined the effects of negative emotions on medical residents' learning of scientific information.
