Efficient simulator training: beyond fidelity
conference paper
In the present paper it is argued that research on training simulators pays too little attention to didactic aspects of training. Instead, much emphasis is laid on fidelity, which is a major cost driver in simulation. It is forgotten, however, that it actually is the training programme that largely determines the effectiveness of training, the necessary level of fidelity of the simulator, and the instructional facilities needed. The literature with regard to training strategies is fragmented. Although a lot of research has been done, most of this has concentrated on predominantly cognitive tasks. The relatively sparse research that is relevant to simulator training focuses mainly on feedback, augmented cueing, and part-task training. Still there is not very much specific knowledge. In this paper, a general research approach is suggested to investigate the effect of several instructional strategies on high-performance task training with the goal of providing guidelines for the design of training, instructional support during training, and design of instructional facilities.
