Individual Differences in Military Training Environments: Four Areas of Research
Abstract
This review addresses the variety of learning and ability differences that individuals bring to the training environment. It is organized in terms of four content areas, which include: (1) trainees' cognitive strategies; (2) trainees' noncognitive characteristics; (3) aptitude-performance interactions; and (4) testing the individual differences hypothesis. Summarized findings are used to develop a decision model for training program design that involves classification of training tasks, selection of personnel for training, and specification of instructional strategies for optimal learning. The model provides a means for accommodating individual differences relevant to the training environment.
