Abstract. When concentration tests are completed repeatedly, reaction time and error rate decrease considerably, but the underlying ability does not improve. In order to overcome this validity problem this study aimed to test if the practice effect between tests and within tests can be useful in determining whether persons have already completed this test. The power law of practice postulates that practice effects are greater in unpracticed than in practiced persons. Two experiments were carried out in which the participants completed the same tests at the beginning and at the end of two test sessions set about 3 days apart. In both experiments, the logistic regression could indeed classify persons according to previous practice through the practice effect between the tests at the beginning and at the end of the session, and, less well but still significantly, through the practice effect within the first test of the session. Further analyses showed that the practice effects correlated more highly with the initial performance than was to be expected for mathematical reasons; typically persons with long reaction times have larger practice effects. Thus, small practice effects alone do not allow one to conclude that a person has worked on the test before.

There are many inherent challenges associated with the development of an effective lifestyle medicine practice that is financially viable. There exist numerous proposed practice models, many of which show promise. Inertia Medical represents a model of combined care through which services related to musculoskeletal and lifestyle medicine are offered in a part-time, self-pay, solo practice. Central to the framework of Inertia Medical is simplicity. The small practice structure allows patients to feel closely connected to the provider and directly involved in their own health care. Minimal overhead costs and limited administrative tasks allow more time, energy, and resources to be focused on what matters most—delivering high-quality patient care. The simple design has become a distinguishing characteristic of this practice and could allow other health care providers to adopt a similar model.
