Goettl, Barry P., Kline, Kevin B. and Regian, J. Wesley (1994): Computers in the Training of Complex Tasks. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. p. 1214.

“The increasing power and speed of desktop computers makes automated instruction more feasible than ever before. Today, PC-based automated instructional systems can be utilized for training very complex tasks from attention demanding motor skills tasks that require rapid processing of multiple sources of information to complicated procedural tasks that impose high demands on memory. With this new technology comes the need to examine the applicability of well established instructional methods in the domain of the new generation of automated instructional systems. One challenge that these new systems pose is that many of the relevant theories and pedagogies are based on research utilizing relatively simple tasks. The objective of this symposium is to examine basic research issues relevant to automated instruction and training of complex tasks.”

Farquhar, John D. and Regian, J. Wesley (1994): The Type and Timing of Feedback within an Intelligent Console-Operations Tutor. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 1225-1228.

“Feedback has remained a useful construct through a shift from a behaviorist explanation of learning to a more cognitive understanding. Research in the use of feedback in education suggests that corrective feedback, or feedback that provides the correct answer, is more effective than feedback that simply indicates an error. However, contrary to an information-processing theory of learning, these studies generally find no efficacy for feedback of a more elaborative nature such as the use of additional explanatory information. The study described in this paper investigated the type and timing of feedback within an intelligent console-operations tutor. Results indicate that when immediate feedback is employed during the acquisition of console-operation skill, elaborative feedback yields greater accuracy of the skill over the use of corrective feedback.”

Gomez, Catherine Connolly, Shebilske, Wayle and Regian, J. Wesley (1994): The Effects of Training on Cognitive Capacity Demands for Synthetic Speech. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 1229-1233.

“Previous studies have revealed that the perception and comprehension of synthetic speech may be attributed to increased processing demands in short-term memory as reflected in serial-order and preload paradigm tasks. Additionally, it has been consistently shown that the perception of synthetic speech improves with moderate amounts of training. The present study was conducted to determine if the increased perceptual effects of training for synthetic speech can be attributed to a reduction of short-term memory load. Two groups of subjects were tested with synthetic speech using the same comprehension and high cognitive processing tasks before and after training. One group was trained with synthetic speech and the other group acted as the control, receiving no training between the pretest and post-test interval. Results reveal similar increases in comprehension based on previous synthetic speech studies for the trained group. Moreover, these results suggest that training on synthetic speech promotes better allocation of attentional resources which result in improved performance on working memory capacity measures.”

Shebilske, Wayne L., Jordan, Jeffrey A., Arthur, Jr. Winfred and Regian, J. Wesley (1993): Combining a Multiple Emphasis on Components Protocol with Small Group Protocols for Training Complex Skills. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 37th Annual Meeting 1993. pp. 1216-1220.

“An Active Interlocked Modeling (AIM) Dyadic protocol for training complex skills, an AIM Tetradic protocol, and an Individual Control protocol were tested alone and in combination with a Multiple Emphasis on Components (MEC) protocol creating 6 conditions for training a complex computer game. We randomly assigned 120 paid subjects to the six conditions. Total game score improved over 10-1 hr sessions for all conditions. Improvement rate replicated advantages previously reported for AIM Dyad, AIM Tetrad, and MEC over the Individual Control. The AIM Dyad with MEC was better than either the AIM Dyad or the Individual with MEC. The AIM Tetrad with MEC was worse than either the AIM Tetrad or the Individual with MEC. Similar patterns occurred on retention, transfer, and resistance to secondary task interference. We discuss implications for acquiring and automatizing attention control strategies through observational learning.”

Shebilske, Wayne L. and Regian, J. Wesley (1992): Video Games, Training, and Investigating Complex Skills. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 1296-1300.

“We are utilizing Space Fortress in a basic research program that is designed to integrate cognitive and social learning theory in the development of group protocols for training complex skills. We present evidence that groups of 2, 3 and 4 can learn Space Fortress as well as 1 using 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 the trainer time and resources respectively. We also present preliminary empirical steps towards individualizing training within groups according to individual differences in selective attention. We discuss implications for developing automated instruction that is designed for small groups rather than for individuals.”
