This paper outlines some major areas of use of simulation in Army Aviation and comments on current research. Equipment development, crew performance studies, concept development and training are discussed. Only in the training area has the Army made substantial progress. A broad program of simulation research with emphasis on engineering and…

Twenty-three teams of trainers of paraprofessional school personnel from school districts in Wayne County were trained, each team composed of five persons representing four different levels: a central office administrator, a building principal, a teacher working or planning to work with paraprofessionals, and two paraprofessionals. The program…

This document, one of four concerned with the training of paraprofessional school personnel, provides 15 situations of varying complexity which may be role-played. A presentation of the role-play dramatization is made for the general group of trainees, who then react to the situation by providing written responses on specially designed sheets.…

This paper was part of a symposium in which research on Project 100,000 was summarized. The report presents information on three major HumRRO projects concerned with training and performance of men of varying ability levels. The first project compared on-the-job performance of military personnel of varying ability levels. The second project…

Published Naval Training Device Center technical reports and some technical notes (those available through the Defense Documentation Center-DDC) which have resulted from basic research, exploratory development, and advanced development type projects are listed. The reports are indexed by technical note number, by title, and by contractor code. The…

Various forms of transactional analysis that can be used to improve trainer-trainee communication are discussed. (BP)

A training program is described which provides, during fault diagnosis, additional information about the relationship between the remaining faults and the available indicators. An interactive computer program developed for this purpose and the first results of experimental training are described. (Author)

Behavior modeling training programs can cover any relational problem, with each problem and its solution treated as a module. (Author/IRT)

The author discusses management principles in general and in relation to time management. Stating that most managers and trainers do not understand these principles, he describes how to put them to work in planning time management programs. (MF)

Results from 2 experiments indicated that 8-to 10-year-old children can be taught to take over the punishing role of an external agent and that a training technique involving perceived freedom of self-punishment will generate greater compliance with subsequent requests from the external agent. (Author/JMB)

A sample of 36 children 5 years of age were trained in perspective-taking skills in order to assess the effectiveness of various types of feedback in training. (Author/JMB)

A shortened version of a learning-set training procedure was given to 80 children four and five years of age. These children and 16 untrained controls were then tested for quantity conservation. Results relate task performance on the conservation tasks to the type of training received. (Author/JMB)

Self instruction and external instructional methods were compared with 19 mentally retarded adults. Results indicated that participants receiving verbal self-instructional training in the complex sequencing task achieved and sustained a higher level of performance than participants receiving external instruction.

Description of training programs for using business applications software highlights implementing programs for Lotus 1-2-3 and dBASE III Plus. The amount of computer experience of the users and the difference in training methods needed are discussed, and the use of a Macintosh computer for producing notes is explained. (LRW)
