Effect of Psychoacoustic Learning on Cardiac Auscultation Proficiency in Nurse Practitioner Students.BACKGROUND
 Cardiac auscultation is a technical, not intellectual, skill, and a psychoacoustic approach to learning is recommended.  A psychoacoustic approach involves repetition of cardiac sounds to facilitate auditory perceptual learning.


 The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a psychoacoustic learning modality for identification of cardiac murmurs by nurse practitioner (NP) students.


 Psychoacoustic learning may improve cardiac assessment.
