Part-Task Training Strategies in Simulated Carrier Landing Final Approach Training

摘要

This experiment manipulated task simplification variables of lag and approach length in order to examine their influence on training of the perceptual motor skills of a simulated carrier landing in the transfer of a training experiment. In addition, the subject's level of motor skills was assessed as a means of controlling for individual differences and testing for any interactions that might exist between the training strategies and the subject's aptitude. Strong transfer effects were found for both motor-skill levels and the segmentation technique, while lag manipulation produced no main effects. Several interactions of the aptitude by treatment type between subject's motor-skill levels and training manipulation were discovered. The results suggest that low-motor-skill subjects are unable to adapt to changes presented during training and are unable to break bad habits acquired during the course of training.
