Serious gaming for complex decision making
conference paper
Tactical-and strategic decision making in the safety domain is a form of 'complex decision making with Naturalistic Decision Making as the predomi-nant line of research. At the heart of the Decision Making expertise are 'situa-tion assessment capabilities, the most 'intuitive aspect of complex decision making. In training it is also the most neglected. Particularly for developing the highly intuitive assessment skills, substantial task experience is indispensable. This makes serious gaming an attractive alternative to live training sites for tasks that are dangerous, hard or just too expensive. However, gaming requires a dedicated training approach like Job Oriented Training to be effective. We learned that implementing JOT in realistic settings, many lower level design is-sues emerge. Design choices are found to have substantial impact on the effects of training. Unsolved design issues are: level of fidelity, scenario progression design and designing for flow.
