|
 | Experimental autobiographical questionnaires were administered to samples of incoming Army enlistees at Forts Dix and Jackson. Basic Combat Training and 180-day success and attrition data were collected, and questionnaires were item analyzed using attrition criterion. Subject to verification, scoring systems developed and score validities indicate that the use of standardized autobiographical questions would be reasonably successful in predicting 180-day Army attrition. Results were similar for both black and white subgroups. ... |

Gary A. Klein; AIR FORCE HUMAN RESOURCES LAB BROOKS AFB TX
|
 | Current approaches to training attempt to break complex tasks into simple, discrete steps. This attempt while valuable for teaching procedural tasks, may not be optimal for teaching complex perceptual and motor tasks; it is valuable for initial stages of training, but may not be optimal for training to highly proficient levels of performance. The assumptions behind current approaches to training are questioned. A phenomenological approach is discussed as a means ... |

|
 | The three studies, described in this report, concerned the assessment of procedures which influence instrument sensitivity in military flight instruction. The ability to determine the relative location of an in-flight vehicle from a set of dial indicators was influenced more by students' expectations than by context. Sensitivity to heading and attitude information was increased when learners were supplied with overt attention control. The teaching of instrument sensitivity appears best facilitated ... |

 | A major reason for student voluntary withdrawal is expressed as his anxiety in the naval aviation training environment. Numerous research efforts have been conducted to analyze the relationship of anxiety to attrition. Generally, these efforts have been unsuccessful, or partially successful at best, as an objective and reliable measure of anxiety has been unavailable for use in research evaluations. A review of research literature suggests that: (a) High levels of ... |
