The Effect of Attitude Toward Link Training upon Performance in the Aircraft.
Abstract
An experiment was designed to discover the effect of a positive or negative attitude toward the P-1 Link upon transfer of training to the T-6 aircraft. An attitude scale was constructed to measure the trainee's attitude toward the P-1 Link. Two experimental groups were used: in one group a positive attitude toward the Link trainer was induced, and in the other group a negative attitude. A control group practiced only on the T-6 aircraft. Performance was measured in both the Link and the T-6 aircraft in terms of trials to reach a criterion. Since only a small number of subjects was used, only the trends apparent in the raw data are discussed. (Author)
