User's Manual for Predicting Military Task Retention. Volume 2. Revision

Abstract

A methodology was developed whereby unit commanders and trainers can estimate unit proficiency on individual tasks over periods of no practice. The method will enable persons making training decisions to organize training schedules to maximize unit readiness. The method consists of 10 rating questions concerning the retention characteristics of individual tasks: the presence and quality of job aids, the number of steps to complete the task, the requirement to complete all or part of the task steps in a certain sequence or within a given time limit, the presence of feedback for correct or incorrect performance, the character and level of mental demand, and the level of motor control required to do the task.
