Skill Decay of Sixteen Common Tasks for MOS 11B and 11C.

Abstract

The objective of the study was to develop skill decay curves for sixteen common Soldier's Manual tasks for MOS 11B and 11C. Following a 2-4 week training period, all soldiers were given a performance posttest. Each solider was then requested to return for one performance retention test at one of the retest intervals; 2-4 weeks, 6-7 weeks, or 10-13 weeks. The results of the study did not produce reliable skill decay curves. (Author)
