ACQUISITION, RETENTION, AND RETRAINING: GROUP STUDIES ON USING LOW FIDELITY TRAINING DEVICES,
Abstract
To examine the effects of varying fidelity of training devices on acquisition, retention, and reinstatement of a procedural task, soldiers were trained in groups of four to operate the section control indicator console of the Nike-Hercules guided missile system during preparation and firing status. Subjects with no previous experience on the equipment were trained on one of three panels differing in appearance, functional fidelity, or both, and tested immediately after training. Approximately four and again six weeks later they were retested and then retrained to the original level of proficiency. Five different studies were conducted. (Author)
