DEVELOPMENT OF THE SUBJECT-MATTER TRAINER,
Abstract
The required device, it appears, should provide opportunity for effective individual and group study of the adjustment and check procedures to be learned. During such practice, students should receive automatic guidance and information as to the correctness or incorrectness of each response made, thus freeing the instructor to work with students performing on the equipment. In addition, the device should be versatile enough to offer practice in a great variety of learning problems and should be capable of being used regardless of the student's previous degree of knowledge of the problem at hand. Of additional convenience would be the use of pictures of drawings to represent problems difficult to put into writing effectively. In general, two types of learning problems can be presented by the device. The first, often called paired-associate learning, is represented by a situation in which the student is required to form an association between two things which belong together. An example in the electronic maintenance area would be learning to associate the name or number of an electronic component with a picture of the component. The second type of learning problem, characterized as serial learning, involves forming a chain of associations throughout a series of things to be learned in a fixed sequence.
