An Investigation of Some Techniques for Training Operators in the Skills of Passive Listening.

Abstract

This investigation is part of a program assigned to the Medical Research Council's Applied Psychology Research Unit (APRU), Cambridge, England, by the Sonar Sub-Committee of the Royal Naval Personnel Research Committee. The experimental work was conducted at APRU and the report was prepared at NEL. The program is designed to investigate factors affecting the training and performance of sonar operators engaged in passive listening. The specific purpose of the experiments reported in this report is to question the validity of certain training techniques incorporated into an automatic teaching device designed by Elliott at the Admiralty Research Laboratory.
