Abstract:

A study was conducted to investigate the application of the PLATO IV system to training interpersonal skills. Suitable content areas were chosen and a mechanism to integrate various skill areas was designed. Training materials for this integration of skills were developed and coded into the PLATO IV system. A sample of experimental and control company commanders was tested and trained. Data about their on-the-job performance in the skill areas, as well as their companies performance were collected and analyzed.
