Introduction: At present, the clinical simulation has been incorporated into medical school curriculum. It is considered that the simulation is useful to develop skills, and as such its diffusion. Within the acquisition of skills, meaningful learning is an essential emotional component for the student and this point is essential to optimize the results of the simulation experience. Methods: Narrative description on the subject of simulation and the degree of "emotionality." Development: The taxonomy is described for the types of clinical simulation fidelity and correlates it with the degree of emotionality required to achieve significant and lasting learning by students. Conclusion: It is essential to take into account the student's level of emotion in the learning process through simulation strategy.
