Book Description
"Three training effectiveness experiments were conducted on a computer-based, thermal combat vehicle identification program developed under the auspices of the Product Manager for Forward Looking Infrared. The program included real thermal imagery of vehicles. The first experiment compared part-task training schedules. The second compared a self-paced trial procedure, which incorporated side by side visual corrective feedback, to a timed trial procedure, which gave only knowledge of results feedback. The third examined the effects of training at near versus far ranges. Thermal training substantially improved scores on both thermal and visible images of vehicles that had been trained, but not for other vehicles. long vehicle sets led to learning plateaus; shorter and multiple sets worked better. learning was more efficient and transfer was enhanced when soldiers responded at their own pace and received corrective visual feedback. Soldiers learned to discriminate vehicles at far ranges, although it took them twice as long as soldiers who trained on near imagery. Even with extensive training, some vehicle confusions persisted, indicating great similarity in thermal signatures for some vehicles. The findings were applied to the program. Efforts are continuing to refine it and to field it throughout the Army."--DTIC.

Designing Multi-media to Train the Thermal Signatures of Vehicles
Author: Jean L. Dyer
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Computer-assisted instruction
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
"Guidelines for using multi-media technology to train the thermal signatures of combat vehicles were developed from training effectiveness experiments with a prototype muli-media program and the instructional design literature. The guidelines specify requirements for a database of thermal images. The database must be constructed to support vehicle recognition/identification exercises as well as in basic instruction on thermal technology and on thermal cues. Factors to consider in developing vehicles recognition exercises are presented, to include the exercise format, establishment of vehicle sets, selection of part-task training schedules, and the type of feedback needed for soldiers and instructors. How to generate training strategies that adapt to the skill level of the soldier is described. Flexibility in the instructional design is stressed as the primary means of meeting the varied training requirements within the military. The need for an instructor's guide describing how to maximize the training features in a flexible training program is emphasized. The guidelines were applied to a multi-media, thermal training program developed in conjuction with the Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate and the manager for Forward Looking Infrared."--Stinet.
