The Role of Verbal Prescriptive Rules in Cognitive Pretraining for a Flying Task.

Abstract

The primary goal of this study was the identification of variables which influence transfer from cognitive pretraining to perceptual-motor skill acquisition. The results clearly support the central hypothesis that the direction of transfer is dependent on the type of Verbral Prescriptive Rules (VPRs) or instructional cues which were learned during cognitive pretraining. Systematically developed rules led to more precise perceptual motor behavior than currently operational rules, which appear to inhibit rather than facilitate performance. The second objective of the study was the discovery and validation of prescriptive principles for the design of perceptual-motor instruction.
