Applied Cognitive Models of Behavior and Errors Patterns
Abstract
This report summarizes concept development, technology prototyping and a study focused on improving training tools for medical readiness. The effort had two primary aims. First, develop models that express indicative patterns. An indicative pattern is a pattern of learner behavior that is predictive/indicative of learner state (e.g., "correct" and error behaviors). Second, evaluate the ability of the models to recognize indicative patterns in training scenarios, especially at pivotal opportunities. A pivotal opportunity is a point at which a learner decision/choice results in different outcomes/directions in the training. We describe the pursuit of three complementary tasks in pursuit of these aims: 1)developing medical training scenarios that support detection of indicative patterns for learner decisions, 2) evaluating indicators that may be apt candidates for supporting medical training, and 3) implementing various methods/processes that could be used to capture indicative patterns in a manner that is both inexpensive and non-intrusive to the learner. This report summarizes progress and accomplishment toward both aims over the entire period of performance.
