FACTORS UNDERLYING PERFORMANCE IN A COMPLEX DECISION MAKING TASK. PERFORMANCE IN AN ANTI-AIR WARFARE CONTEXT.

Abstract

The results of this study indicate that training for decision making will be more effective if it is more interdependent--more inductive and discovery oriented. The problem here is to devise economically feasible methods for large scale training--a goal which has not been achieved in any branch of training or education. Research models of semi-automated inductive training methods have been devised and used in an AAW identification exercise. The parameters of the method have been studied, and it appears to achieve the goals set down for training for higher level information processing in decision making. It also appears that the cost factors involved in its application compare favorably with other traditional intensive forms of instruction. (Author)
