Training Simulator Fidelity Guidance: The Iterative Data Base Approach
Abstract
This paper provides a preliminary organizational framework for a training simulator fidelity data base. Such a data base can provide a starting point for the development of a formal training simulator fidelity decision- making package and can also be the basis for the determination of future research. The organizational structure of the data base is developed in three stages. First, the issue of determining the minimum required fidelity for a training simulator is located in its place within the context of the ISD process. Second, the necessary informational inputs to the fidelity decision process from task analyses are discussed with the goal of obtaining more useful information for making fidelity decisions. Finally, a proposed structure for making fidelity decisions and for conducting future research is presented. This structure is derived from the use of a proposed iterative data base of empirically derived data on the relationship between simulator fidelity and training effectiveness.
