Simulators for Mariner Training and Licensing. Phase 2: Investigation of Simulator Characteristics for Training Senior Mariners,

Abstract

As a result of the Phase 1 investigation, many specific gaps were identified in the empirical research literature regarding the use of simulators for mariner training. These gaps cover a wide range of variables relative to simulation and its influence upon training effectiveness and performance validity. Phase 2 clarifies several of the more important issues facing the design and use of simulators for mariner training by initiating a systematic investigation of several simulation and training program variables. The variables investigated during this phase of the research were: color/black and white visual scene, day/night simulation, horizontal field of view, target controllability, feedback methodology, and instructor differences.
