Scientific research optimizes cognitive ability and promotes construction of the knowledge system in cardiovascular physiology

Cognition refers to acquiring knowledge through mental activities( e. g.,form a concept,perception,judgment and imagination). Medical students who participate in scientific research can effectively improve their cognitive ability,which is an important means to realize the “learning to learn”.Cardiovascular physiology is an important and difficult part of physiological instruction. Cultivating students' scientific research ability helps medical students to better construct their knowledge system in cardiovascular physiology.
