Cues and Practice in Flying Training.

Abstract

It was possible to define two levels of the variable Instructional Cue. The two levels were tested experimentally for their effectiveness as cognitive mediators of perceptual motor behavior. The results of this experiment as well as the findings of verbal pretraining research suggest that the facilitative effect of cognitive pretraining is at least partially a function of the degree of cognitive mastery (M) attained by the learner as a result of pretraining. Cognitive mastery in turn is dependent on the type of instructional cue (IC) and on the amount of practice (P) administered during pretraining. Pretraining on relevant and logically coherent cues appears to result in higher levels of cognitive mastery as well as perceptual motor performance (PM) than pretraining on irrelevant and logically incoherent cues.
