THE EFFECT OF VARIATIONS IN MOTION FIDELITY DURING TRAINING ON SIMULATED LOW-ALTITUDE FLIGHT.
Abstract
Two experiments testing the effects of variations in the fidelity of simulated motion during training on performance in a simulated low-altitude, high-speed mission were performed. The simulated mission required subjects to perform a one-dimensional (vertical) compensatory tracking task, while experiencing moderately heavy clear air turbulence. The research led to the following conclusions: (1) providing simulated motion during the learning of tracking skills, contributes to more effective performance in criterion situations in which motion cues play an inportant role; and (2) performance on a procedural task (reaction time measures) during criterion testing did not differ significantly as a function of the type traning received.
