Three areas of human factors concern in aviation--performance assessment, prediction of performance, and simulation in training--are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the necessity for providing objective and standardized evaluation of flight trainees, rather than using the unreliable subjective evaluation methods. Methods for predicting trainees' performance, particularly in combat situations, are being sought. Use of simulation in training helicopter pilots has been minimal, but recently two devices were developed to provide ...
Five separate schools provide 61 short courses of instruction in logistical management and closely related areas, exclusive of those courses which are under consideration by other task groups. These courses were examined in considerable depth. The schools are the Army Logistics Management Center, Fort Lee, Virginia; the School of Logistics, Air Force Institute of Technology, Dayton, Ohio; the Army Management Engineering Training Agency, Rock Island Arsenal, Rock Island, Illinois; the ...
Sixty-four male hooded rats were trained monocularly to respond to a single stimulus in a Grice discrimination box. Different groups received 20 trials per day for 2, 3, or 5 days. After training generalization to a novel stimulus was tested, both while Ss were using the trained eye and while they were using the untrained eye. The amount of stimulus generalization was similar for both eyes, but the general response ...
The purpose of Task MAINTRAIN is to develop techniques for improving the training and proficiency of electronics maintenance technicians. Since trouble shooting, i.e., locating malfunctioning parts, is one of the most difficult tasks involved in maintenance, recent efforts have been devoted largely to this aspect of maintenance. A necessary step in the conduct of trouble shooting research was to review the relevant literature. The present bibliography was prepared as part ...
