Klein, Gary and Mosier, Kathy (1995): Applying the Naturalistic Decision-Making Perspective to Training. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. p. 1248.

One way to evaluate the Naturalistic Decision Making (NDM) framework is by its value in recommending and guiding training interventions. NDM researchers have shown that people do not use classical strategies, such as multiattribute utility analysis, in operational settings. A variety of NDM models have been proposed to explain how people actually do make decisions under conditions such as uncertainty and time pressure. Yet there is little purpose in training these strategies, since they describe what people already do. The challenge to NDM researchers is to build on these descriptions, and recommend training interventions that are practical and effective. The symposium presents the work of four NDM researchers engaged in developing training interventions. The paper by Klein describes a decision-centered training approach that has been used to embed process training in a curriculum for firefighters. The paper by Orasanu discusses strategies for improving the decision-making skills of commercial pilots. The paper by Mumaw and Roth addresses training of nuclear power plant operators to make better judgments and decisions during nonroutine events. The paper by Cohen describes the development of a training program to improve the situation awareness skills of Army officers.
