SASS: South African Simulation Survey a review of simulation-based education
Background: Simulation-based education (SBE) has been shown to be an effective and reproducible learning tool. SBE is used widely internationally. The current state of SBE in South Africa is unknown. To the best of our knowledge this is the first survey that describes the use and attitudes towards …

An evaluation of SASS (South African scoring system) as a tool for the rapid bioassessment of water quality
The South African Scoring System (SASS) is a rapid bioassessment technique based on one component of riverine biotas, the benthic macroinvertebrates. Each taxon is assigned a tolerance/sensitivity score, which are summed to provide a Total Score. The Average Score per Taxon (ASPT) is calculated by …

Effects of aberrant visuo-vestibular information on higher cognition
… response time function on the new SPT task, the ‘SASS task’, but not on the new control task (interaction effect: F(1, 29) = 16.58, p < .001, η2p = .364). This was the first study to show empirically that performance monotonicity on a SPT task is not accounted for by graded spatial compatibil ity …
