Quick Development Microcomputer System: Training Automatic Components for Electronic Troubleshooting

Abstract

This report investigates how practice aids development of diagnostic troubleshooting skill and how to speed the skill acquisition process using desktop simulation techniques. Experiments show how practice can build up automatic component skills so they can be executed quickly, reliably, with little effort, and be incorporated into more complex skills. The researchers developed objective criteria that can be used in microcomputer software to specify when to promote a student from practicing a component skill to practicing the aggregate skill level.
