“…His 'gambit' pedagogical framework asserts that (a) general behaviors related to teamwork can be taught using over-the-counter gaming applications that elicit such behaviors, and (b) such learned behaviors are likely to transfer to actual operational environments (e.g., Weil, Hussain, Brunye, Sidman, Spahr, 2005). Due to technological advances in modeling and simulation, current Massive Multiplayer Games (MMPGs) can provide a high level of realism, in terms of interactive behaviors with simulated operational environments and virtual characters.…”

Games must present instructional elements needed for skill development and be effectively designed to capitalize on their potential. Questions arise regarding how to integrate instruction into game play that maps directly to core domain competencies. We have conducted ongoing research on the utility of "training through feedback" on human performance, particularly situation awareness (SA). Past studies have demonstrated the capability for real-time, in-game assessment of SA. Here, we present data from a demonstration exercise aimed at further validating real-time, SA measures for development of cognitive skills in games and extending the research to include assessments of task performance. West Point cadets performed squad-level patrol tasks in a computer-based military game. Data on their SA and performance was captured in each scenario segment and then provided as feedback in an after-action review. We present results from the exercise with discussion of how SA results relate to team performance.

“…La fidelidad funcional se define como el grado en que la simulación se comporta como el equipo operacional al reaccionar a las tareas ejecutadas por el alumno [138]. La fidelidad funcional es importante para incrementar el realismo de las simulaciones, así como el interés y la atención de los usuarios [139] [140]. En cuanto a la fidelidad funcional, es interesante que los simuladores den soporte para lenguajes de scripts y diversas técnicas de IA, tales como la detección de colisiones, cálculo de trayectorias o toma de decisiones.…”
