Adaptive Training Considerations for Use in Simulation-Based Systems

In this report, we examine theoretical and empirical papers that describe adaptive training AT. When applied effectively, AT has the potential to improve training interventions, making them more successful and efficient. An extensive search was conducted to locate and review articles pertaining to AT. Our review of the research suggests that there are a number of considerations that one must take into account prior to, during, and after development of an AT training system. Future research will need to determine the relative effectiveness of different approaches and which variables are most useful for adapting training.
