Automatic Information Processing and High-Performance Skills: Principles of Consistency, Part-Task Training, Context, Retention, and Complex Task Performance

Abstract

Six series of experiments (11 individual experiments) were conducted to further extend automatic/controlled processing research to command and control mission-specific training. The issues examined in these experiments were related to retention of task-component skills; amount of practice; component training for memory-search-dependent tasks; and effects of degree of consistency, context, and task performance dependent on interactions of memory scanning, visual search, rule-based processing and acquisition of procedural knowledge. A final section of the document outlines how the present data provide processing principles which augment previous human performance guidelines that have been shown to be important for high-performance-skills training.
