Developing Adaptive Teams: Training Strategies, Learning Processes, and Performance Adaptability

Abstract

This report documents a research program that is designed to advance understanding of fundamental principles of human learning and team processes that underlie individual and team adaptability. The program goal is to develop principles for training adaptive performance skills quickly, efficiently, and effectively. These principles are intended to provide a basis to guide the design of instructional tools and simulation systems for training teams that operate in dynamic and complex environments, and specify instructional capabilities that can be embedded in operational systems to enable training anytime and anywhere. Primary research objectives were to: (a) create measurement tools for modeling individual and team-regulatory processes, (b) identify antecedents that affect the quality regulatory processes and their interplay at the individual and team levels, and (c) map the effects of experimental training strategies and individual differences on individual and team-level regulatory processes, learning, and performance. Research findings provide an initial basis to derive theoretically based and practically relevant training principles that enhance understanding of team regulation, learning, and adaptability, and have the potential to improve team training design and training systems.
