In the educational process leading to competence in clinical training students develop awareness of inter and intra personal skills. Since 1980 video has been used in Edinburgh to assist students in self‐evaluation of their performance as potential speech therapists. In 1980 a small study was undertaken to see if students' perceptions of their performance immediately following a therapy session differed in any way from their perceptions after seeing a video of their performance. Differences were noted. It seemed possible that it might not be necessary for students to be asked to record their perceptions twice and that their analysis post video alone would have the same educative value. This small study casts some doubt on this assumption. There is a quantitative and qualitative difference between comments from students who analyse their performance after viewing a video and those from students who analyse their performance before and after viewing, but firm conclusions cannot be drawn from these small samples.
