It is logical to pursue cost and safety benefits by substituting practice on a training simulator for a portion of the training that traditionally occurs in the field on actual heavy construction equipment. However, more understanding is required to determine the most useful amount of simulator practice to maximize transfer of the desired skills to operation of a real machine. We report a study conducted at the John Deere and Company Demo Site in Coal Valley, IL, which compared the operator skill development of individuals who trained on an excavator simulator to that of persons who trained exclusively on a real excavator. Both groups practiced a trench-and-load task and were tested on a common real machine. Performance of the simulator group on the real machine improved across daily sessions, attaining the same level as the real-machine group after 10 hours of practice.
