Evaluation of Two Tank Gunnery Trainers.
Abstract
The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the training effectiveness of two tank gunnery training systems. An additional goal was to determine the level of proficiency which students should reach on the device in order to maximize initial (12-shot) transfer on the main gun. The basic approach was to select students who, while having had classroom sessions on main-gun firing and adjustment-of-fire procedures, has not had any practice on the actual tasks. Individual students within several experimental groups then practiced tracking and firing until a predetermined proficiency level was achieved. Following training, each experimental student tracked and fired for a total of 12 main-gun rounds. An additional control group also tracked and fired 12 rounds; however, they did not have the benefit or prior training.
