TEACHING MACHINES IN THE MODERN MILITARY ORGANIZATION

摘要

The concept of "teaching machines" is explained and its relation to military training problems is made clear. Descriptions are given of the machines and techniques of Pressey, Skinner, Crowder, and Pask. Some emerging theoretical issues are briefly presented and discussed. Research intended to develop the potentialities of the "teaching machine" concept is described by reference to the current research program of the Behavioral Sciences Laboratory. The military uses of teaching machines and of the efforts needed to make their widespread use a reality are discussed.
