Abstract

The authors investigated the association between first-year medical students' verbal participation in a behavioral science discussion group, course satisfaction, and performance on a cognitive task (a written essay). Results showed that students who were sociometrically selected as having enhanced the group discussion performed better on the course essay and evaluated the course more favorably than their reticent counterparts. Some shortcomings of this exploratory research are discussed, as are future research recommendations.
