“…They were then allowed to practice in the battlefield environment and to conclude their session, they took the battlefield environment test again. The group that was trained only on task relevant cues in the simulator performed significantly better than the other group on the realistic battlefield test (Kass, Herschler, & Companion, 1991). The study demonstrated that by breaking down the environment to task-relevant cues the Soldiers were able to effectively recognize those cues.…”

“…Using a tank simulator, Kass, Herschler, and Companion (1991) demonstrated that they were able to enhance situational awareness and improve performance (as measured by correct pattern recognition and response time) in SIMulation NETwork (SIMNET) M1A1 tank simulations by training only task-relevant cues. One group of Soldiers was trained in a simulator using only task relevant cues that taught skill-based pattern recognition.…”

This research consisted of two phases. In the initial phase, covered in this report, emphasis was placed on identification of psychological constructs that were determined to be critical for operational units as they prepared to deploy. To support the research objectives, a comprehensive literature review including academic and military sources was conducted and approximately one hundred Soldiers and leaders were interviewed. Several meta-constructs were identified, each of which had multiple sub-constructs embedded within them. Interviews with Soldiers and leaders assisted in reducing the list to those intangibles most critical to mission readiness and identifying training gaps related to the criticality and effectiveness of the relevant intangibles. This identification assisted the second phase of this research that focused on instrument development and identification of effective learning methods; the second phase is covered in a second report.

“…In particular, it is highly likely that other professions exist in which expertise in these specific areas plays a more important role in professional practice. For example, could surgeons learn from the military about improving teamwork or situational awareness [42] and from teachers about better communication? If these areas are important for surgical roles, then why not assess surgical training in these areas against other professions' 'gold standards' and see whether there are opportunities to improve?…”

Research Priorities in Light of Current Trends in Microsurgical Training: Revalidation, Simulation, Cross-Training, and Standardisation

Plastic surgery training worldwide has seen a thorough restructuring over the past decade, with the introduction of formal training curricula and work-based assessment tools. Part of this process has been the introduction of revalidation and a greater use of simulation in training delivery. Simulation is an increasingly important tool for educators because it provides a way to reduce risks to both trainees and patients, whilst facilitating improved technical proficiency. Current microsurgery training interventions are often predicated on theories of skill acquisition and development that follow a 'practice makes perfect' model. Given the changing landscape of surgical training and advances in educational theories related to skill development, research is needed to assess the potential benefits of alternative models, particularly cross-training, a model now widely used in non-medical areas with significant benefits. Furthermore, with the proliferation of microsurgery training interventions and therefore diversity in length, cost, content and models used, appropriate standardisation will be an important factor to ensure that courses deliver consistent and effective training that achieves appropriate levels of competency. Key research requirements should be gathered and used in directing further research in these areas to achieve on-going improvement of microsurgery training.

“…This congruency between training and task is known as transfer appropriate processing (Blaxton, 1989;Healy, 1992). Research has expanded upon and integrated the studies in perceptual learning (Kass, Herschler, & Companion, 1991) and strategic processing (Doane, Alderton, Sohn, & Pellegrino, 1999) by demonstrating specific training outcomes applicable to training design. In particular, two dimensions of training complexity have been investigated: training environment complexity and training content complexity.…”

Training for detection of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) at airport checkpoints requires continued development as training technology must keep up with threat technology. In this paper, we describe the state of research on training interventions for X-ray baggage screeners. We propose that the addition of individually adaptive training elements to exposure and discrimination training paradigms will lead to higher detection accuracy and speed as well as maximize efficiency for training. Implications for researchers and training professionals are discussed.
