Specification of Training Simulator Fidelity: A Research Plan

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA127346 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report presents a conceptual framework for identifying factors that may impact training simulator effectiveness. A research strategy is proposed for the empirical determination of necessary levels of training simulator fidelity. Preliminary studies consistent with this strategy are described to explore the effects of device fidelity on the transfer of training of perceptual-motor and cognitive maintenance tasks.
