DERIVING TRAINING DEVICE IMPLICATIONS FROM LEARNING THEORY PRINCIPLES. VOLUME 1: GUIDELINES FOR TRAINING DEVICE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND USE

Abstract

Investigation was made of the feasibility of developing criteria for the design, development, and use of training devices on the basis of principles formulated by current psychological learning theories. A number of implications for the training device situation were derived from learning principles common to most contemporary theorists. Additional implications were derived from principles characteristic of, or particularly emphasized by, specific learning theorists. The derived implications were presented as a set of guidelines to extend and amplify present human factors guides for training device design and use. These device implications or guidelines were presented in a tabular format organized and indexed according to relevance for (1) specific members of a nineteen category task/behavior classification system, and (2) types of general design problems, e.g., stimulus presentation, performance feedback, or operator output.
