MAINTAINING A HUMAN TOUCH IN THE DESIGN OF VIRTUAL PART-TASK TRAINERS (VPPT): LESSONS FROM COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY AND LEARNING DESIGN
Piers Maclean, Marie Cahillane Cranfield University The Defence Academy of the United Kingdom
Virtual part-task trainers (VPTTs) are employed
in the acquisition and retention of a range of procedural and
psychomotor skills. Taking the position that all tasks involve a
level of cognitive engagement, this paper discusses cognitive
theories of skill acquisition, learning, and multimodal learning and
their application to the design of VPTTs and similar learning
technologies. The inclusion of human audio and visual presence may
be used to stimulate learning and recall of specific skills. |
