Developing Training Exemplars for the Requisite Components of Visual Threat Detection.

摘要

In the first stage of this research, a model of visual threat detection, the threat detection loop, was developed and requisite components of that model were identified (Zimmerman, Mueller, Grover, & Vowels, In Preparation). The primary components of visual threat detection were determined to include dynamic threat monitoring, threat prioritization, and causal reasoning. This second report describes a final quasi-experiment involving those primary components. Results from all of the research informed the development and refinement of a training exemplar that consists of exercises involving each of the components. The exemplar was improved based on feedback from Soldiers with operational experience and from instructors/trainers involved in training threat detection skills.
