USE OF LATENT IMAGE PRINTING IN PROBLEM-SOLVING AND SELF-ASSESSMENT EXERCISES

Latent image printing is a technique whereby information is printed which is invisible until treated by the reader in some way, for example by rubbing a special pen over the area. This technique has applications in medical education, particularly in self-assessment and patient-management problem exercises. It is superior to other methods of providing feedback in so far as feedback can be selective and in a form that discourages the reader from looking at the answer before attempting the question. © 1979 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
