Models of Morse Code Skill Acquisition: Simulation and Analysis

摘要

The simulation described in this report predicts details of performance forstudents learning to copy Morse code at high speeds of transmission. Specifically, the model predicts the probability of a correct response, an incorrect response, a period (no guess) response, no response, and a correct response for each of the five serial positions in a group. The simulation also predicts the time it takes to execute both a correct and incorrect response and the time it takes to execute a period response. The model was derived from a cognitive analysis of the information processing demands on students and modeled with order-of-processing diagrams. A preliminary test was conducted with response data from students at the U.S. Army Intelligence School, Fort Devens, Massachusetts....
