Application of Transfer Forecast Methods to Armor Training Devices
Abstract
The report is part of a research program by the Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences to develop analytic tools for estimating training device effectiveness. To date, four analytic models under the heading 'TRAINVICE' have been developed, but their validity is still in question because predictor and criterion measurements available for validation studies are few. The authors of this report were able to get these measurements from transfer-of-training data gathered on fur training devices during the operational testing of an MK-60 gunnery trainer, the Videodisc Integrated Gunnery Simulator (VIGS). The findings indicate that TRAINVICE scores were reasonably consistent for each particular model between raters. However, particular components variables of each model showed low agreement between raters. The authors suggest that future research on transfer forecast models increase the reliability of the predictor measures, improve the criterion measurement environment, and determine the scale properties of the models.
