Research in Computer-Aided Performance Training.

Abstract

The principal emphasis of the research was on developing better ways to utilize the power of the digital computer in computer-aided performance training. Two large programs were developed and tested. The approach taken in these programs combines simulation and generative techniques. The dialogue with the student is sustained without using a 'CAI language'. Other research interests related to motivating students in training environments, specifying training objectives, evaluating effectiveness of CAI, and recent developments in learning theory and cognitive psychology.
