But is there data, Casey? Yes there is!
Self-explanation is well-founded in our literature.
I especially like this paper which showed that SE + learning by examples (comparing your own thoughts to someone else’s thinking aloud) can be synergistic.

Abstract Synopsis
- Recent studies indicate that self-explanation (SE) while diagnosing clinical cases helps medical students develop better clinical reasoning skills, but the best conditions for this are still unclear.
- The study found that students who listened to resident examples of SEs with prompts showed the most improvement in diagnostic accuracy and performance, especially when tackling new cases, compared to groups without prompts or controls.
- Overall, incorporating SE with guided examples and prompts appears to be an effective way to enhance medical students’ diagnostic skills and reasoning, with prompts providing additional benefit.]
