This report focuses on how 3-D graphical and interactive features of computer-based instruction can enhance learning and support human cognition during technical training of equipment procedures (where procedural training tasks are often highly spec~c to a piece of equipment). Studies of the effects of graphics, motion, and interactivity in technical training, and reports of success~y-ul instruction using state-of-the art graphics and animation were reviewed to extract a set of guideUnes for using 3-D interactive graphics to teach equipment procedures.
This paper outlines a human information processing theory applicable to acquisition of military skills with a high processing load. The proposed approach integrates two complementary streams of thinking: (1) multiple resource theory: and (2) the concept of automaticity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
