Effects of Task Index Variations on Training Effectiveness Criteria.

Abstract

A feasibility study was undertaken as part of a program to develop quantitative techniques for prescribing the design and use of training systems. As the second step in this program, the present study attempted to: refine quantitative indices employed during earlier research; conduct laboratory research on the effects which task index variations have on training criteria; and support the laboratory results with data gathered in the field. Two laboratory investigations and a field study were conducted. Significant relationships were established between instructor's judgments of training criteria and trainee subtask index values.
