Book Description
"As the Army moves toward a digital battlefield, the nation's defense will become reliant on the computer skills of its leaders, soldiers, and civilians. To embody this future force, Army training must successfully address the acquisition, retention, and transfer of computer skills. As a first step toward this goal, this research product reviews the literature concerning the acquisition, retention, and transfer of computer-based skills. A review of 76 articles examining the training domains of programming, software, simulation, and gaming ability was performed. General conclusions for each training area (acquisition, retention, and transfer) are presented. In general, the research does not build on previous findings in the area. In addition, many areas, such as the long-term retention of computer skills and individual difference variables, remain to be explored."--DTIC.

Application of Cognitive Principles in Distributed Computer-based Training
Author: Richard C. Deatz
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Computer simulation
Languages : en
Pages : 38
Book Description
"As the U.S. Army continues to develop more powerful and complex digital information systems, it is essential that both training needs and training opportunities are addressed to meet mission objectives. One way to address the training challenges of emerging digital systems is through the use of computer-based instruction (CBI), particularly because of the flexibility it offers in the way training can be delivered (e.g., embedded, distance learning, Internet). Another way is to improve learning by applying principles of cognitive psychology to the training design. This paper describes a research and development effort that incorporated a limited set of cognitive learning principles and techniques in the design of CBI for individual digital operator skills. To demonstrate the design features, four prototype training modules were developed for the Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2), the Army's vehicle-mounted digital system for distributing information to provide situational awareness. This paper describes how the selected instructional techniques and cognitive principles were used in distributed computer-based training. Pictures of screen layouts illustrate how the principles and techniques were instantiated in operator training for a digital system. Finally, this report provides a discussion of the lessons learned and issues for future research and development."--DTIC.
