A literature review was conducted on cognitive memory decay as it applies to training decay in simulated-use studies on medical devices for FDA submission. Today, training decay may be necessary for testing medical devices that may not be used immediately or frequently after training.
The use of training decay is meant to test these devices. When a device might be used rarely or potentially never, using only an hour of memory decay may not allow for an accurate measure of user performance. This poster will provide the rationale for the justification of several different training decay periods based on research.
