Humans search for specific targets in complex scenes to navigate the world. This ability to search is integral to survival in many ways, from its most basic role in hunting and gathering to its more advanced application to the detection of medical conditions in the field of radiology. According to previous research, the ability to search efficiently in a visual task can be learned over time. Despite sufficient evidence, in this paper, we recognize numerous findings that support the presence of greater learning and confidence curves in 3D versus 2D image search. The study of such learning patterns is important to the field of medicine as we hope to train radiologists to be as efficient, accurate, and confident as possible.
