Accelerated Expertise
Author: Robert R. HoffmanPublisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1135083231
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Speed in acquiring the knowledge and skills to perform tasks is crucial. Yet, it still ordinarily takes many years to achieve high proficiency in countless jobs and professions, in government, business, industry, and throughout the private sector. There would be great advantages if regimens of training could be established that could accelerate the achievement of high levels of proficiency. This book discusses the construct of ‘accelerated learning.’ It includes a review of the research literature on learning acquisition and retention, focus on establishing what works, and why. This includes several demonstrations of accelerated learning, with specific ideas, plans and roadmaps for doing so. The impetus for the book was a tasking from the Defense Science and Technology Advisory Group, which is the top level Science and Technology policy-making panel in the Department of Defense. However, the book uses both military and non-military exemplar case studies. It is likely that methods for acceleration will leverage technologies and capabilities including virtual training, cross-training, training across strategic and tactical levels, and training for resilience and adaptivity. This volume provides a wealth of information and guidance for those interested in the concept or phenomenon of "accelerating learning"— in education, training, psychology, academia in general, government, military, or industry.
Assessment of the Think Like a Commander Training Program

ISBN:
Category : Command of troops
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
The Think Like a Commander and the Adaptive Thinking Training Method have been used to train adaptive thinking, a specific component of battlefield thinking. The training method uses cognitive battle drills to apply deliberate practice training concepts to commanders' battlefield thinking skills and allows officers to model their battlefield understandings, plans, visualizations, and decisions after expert tactician's thinking patterns. The research described in this report documents the results of the use of the Think Like a Commander training program in the Armor Captain's Career Course at Fort Knox, Kentucky, and experimentally assesses the value of the training. The analysis indicated that use of the Think Like a Commander leads to significant performance gains in a critical area of battlefield thinking: the ability to rapidly analyze a tactical situation in order to identify the critical information needed for decision-making.

Author: Human-system Integration for Future Command and Control
Author: Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Command and control systems
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
The Army's transformation to Future Combat Systems (FCS) poses an unprecedented alliance of humans and machines, particularly for Command and Control (C). Creating a human-machine alliance that actually improves command and control is a severe challenge in human-system integration for FCS. First, this report selectively identifies four overarching research issues for command and control: Allocation, Autonomy, Authority, and Awareness. Second, two complementary research approaches, mid-scale and small-scale transformation environments, for investigating human-system integration issues are described. An example of a mid-scale transformation environment from the FCS C2 program is provided with selected results from Experiment 1 on human-system integration. The value added by small-scale transformation environments, however, is needed to maintain a human-centric focus and provide two unique roles: a breeding ground for innovation to larger environments, and proving ground for issues from larger environments. An example of an emerging small-scale transformation environment directed at FCS concept exploration and training is provided. The core technical, operational and human performance assets currently available for this small-scale transformation environment are described. The report's intended audience includes any members of the user, researcher, and developer community who might benefit from, or provide benefit to, the Army's ongoing FCS research program."--DTIC.
