Abstract: Background In situ simulation holds promise to enhance the effectiveness of performance. However, a dearth of theory remains to explain the efficacy of simulation-based education within health care teams. Aim The aim of this study was to examine team cognitive processes across two trauma simulations and to identify whether these processes impact observer-rated performance . Method Twenty-four health care professionals within an emergency department participated in one of two 30-minute trauma scenarios. Before and after participating, they reported their team transactive memory perceptions. Performance in the scenarios was video recorded for evaluation. Results Participants reported significant increases in transactive memory ( p
