The Team-Training Load as a Parameter of Effectiveness for Collective Training in Units.

Abstract

This report summarizes the results of two series of studies of team training conducted during the summer of 1977. In each of 10 studies, 5 subjects worked together as a team for 8 hours per day over 6 consecutive days; during their first 48 hours of work, each team was trained to perform the 6 tasks that constitute the synthetic work presented with the Multiple-Task Performance Battery. The 10 teams consisted of different combinations of the total of 20 undergraduate male volunteer subjects to provide team-training loads (Percentages of untrained team personnel) ranging from 0 to 100 percent in 20 percent steps. The data of the 10 studies were combined to permit analysis of the effects of team-training loads ranging from 0 to 100 percent in 10 percent steps, and the effects of team-training load on training and performance effectiveness were thereby assessed.
