Book Description
In this report, researchers examined rifle marksmanship development within a skill development framework outlined by Chung, Delacruz, de Vries, Bewley, and Baker (2006). Thirty-three novice shooters used an M4 rifle training simulator system to learn to shoot an 8-inch target at a simulated distance of 200 yards. Cognitive, psychomotor, and affective measures were gathered in addition to measures of performance and component skills. Partial support was found for rifle marksmanship skill development following Ackerman's (1988) skill development theory. Support was found for the idea that known distance rifle marksmanship can transition rapidly from a learning phase to a practice phase, and that the cognitive and affective variables have a substantial influence on performance and skill development during the learning phase. (Contains 5 tables.) [This report was supported by a grant from the Advanced Brain Monitoring, Inc., PR/Award Number 20064169.].

Book Description
Measures of rifle marksmanship skill and performance were developed using a prototype instrumented laser-based training system. Measures of performance were derived from laser strikes on a video-projected target. Measures of rifle marksmanship skill--breath control, trigger control, and muzzle wobble--were developed from shooters' breathing and trigger squeeze patterns. Existing marksmanship instructional materials and expert shooters' breath and trigger control profiles guided the development of the skill measures. A shooter's breath control was described as where and how long into the respiratory cycle the trigger broke. A shooter's trigger control was described as the duration of the trigger squeeze. A shooter's muzzle was described as the total acceleration during the two seconds prior to the shot. The use of sensor-based measures provides insight into exactly how a shooter is executing two of the three skills considered to be the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship.

Book Description
In this report, researchers examined whether individualized multimedia-based instruction would influence the development of rifle marksmanship skills in novice shooters with little or no prior rifle marksmanship experience. Forty-eight novice shooters used an M4 rifle training simulator system to shoot at an 8-inch target at a simulated distance of 200 yards. Participants received either (a) no instruction, (b) only an overview of rifle marksmanship, or (c) an overview and instruction targeted at particular skill gaps. Support was found for the idea that multimedia-based instruction can be highly effective for novices, with a large increase in shooting performance observed after 10 to 15 minutes of multimedia instruction. Subsequent individualized instruction using very short multimedia instruction appeared to be effective in shaping participants' skills toward an "ideal" state consistent with shooting doctrine.

Book Description
The UCLA National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST) conducted research on assessment models and tools designed to support Naval distance learning (DL), with application to USMC marksmanship training. CRESST examined the role of cognitive and non-cognitive variables in the prediction of rifle marksmanship performance in a series of studies. The evidence suggests a knowledge component to shooting performance, and differences in knowledge of rifle marksmanship between participants' pre-classroom training and post-classroom training, between more experienced participants and less experienced participants, between high performers and low performers, and between higher aptitude and lower aptitude participants. Knowledge measures can predict record-fire scores moderately in less experienced samples, and when combined with other variables within the stages-of-skill-processing framework, can predict record-fire scores as well as scores from a rifle simulator.

Book Description
The UCLA National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST) is under contract from the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) to conduct research on assessment models and tools designed to support Marine Corps rifle marksmanship. In this deliverable, we first review the literature on known-distance rifle marksmanship research in Section I. In Section II we examine USMC combat marksmanship. Because the USMC Combat Marksmanship Program (CMP) (including moving targets) is new, there is no current research that we know of that has specifically examined assessment of CMP elements and we thus identify assessment issues. Section III reviews the use of sensors in the assessment of rifle marksmanship skill, and we provide detailed information on our prior work on developing and validating measures for known-distance rifle marksmanship. Section IV provides an overview of various marksmanship training systems in use by the USMC as of 2006. Based on the available information, we examined each system with respect to capabilities needed to support research on marksmanship. Section V provides a detailed research plan and schedule intended to investigate the assessment issues covered in Sections I to IV. Appendices include: (1) Key Knowledge Components; (2) Key Rifle Marksmanship Facts; (3) Key Rifle Marksmanship Cause-Effect Relations; and (4) Rifle Marksmanship Training Systems (USMC, 2006). (Contains 11 tables, 11 figures and 1 footnote.).

Book Description
"This report reviews what is known about forgetting as it applies to military tasks. It includes research conducted by the Army Research Institute as well as related work performed by the Air Force and Navy and leading academic institutions. The report distinguishes the memory for knowledge and skill related to procedural tasks, cognitive tasks, and perceptual-motor tasks. Memory for task knowledge has been demonstrated to be quite good. Memory for cognitive skills has been demonstrated to be quite good. Memory for psychomotor skills varies, depending on whether the task is continuous, such as riding a bicycle, or discrete, such as executing the separate performance steps involved in disassembling a rifle. Throughout the report, figures depict the relative sustainment or decay of a skill as reported in the research literature. A final section concerns the factors that influence the reacquisition of a skill after extended periods of nonuse, as might occur during a mobilization."--DTIC.

Book Description
"This research compared the relative impact of two approaches for training Basic Rifle Marksmanship (BRM). One hundred and eighty four One-Station Unit Training (OSUT) infantry trainees (i.e., the experimental group) trained under a U.S. Army Reserve (USAR)-developed, device-based (i.e., the Beamhit Laser Marksmanship Training System LMTS) approach, and 202 infantry trainees (i.e., the control group) trained under the standard U.S. Army Infantry School BRM program of instruction. Results revealed that the experimental group outperformed the control group on shot grouping, weapon zeroing, and known-distance firing. No between-group differences were found, however, for record fire qualification scores or for performance during pop-up target engagement practice periods leading up to qualification. The implications of these findings for initial marksmanship training are discussed along with plans for follow-up USAR-sponsored research to assess (a) the impact of LMTS-based training on sustainment performance, and (b) the feasibility of using LMTS-based performance to predict live-fire qualification scores."--Stinet.

Book Description
The goal of this report was to test the use of sensor-based skill measures in evaluating performance differences in rifle marksmanship. Ten shots were collected from 30 novices and 9 experts. Three measures for breath control and one for trigger control were used to predict skill classification. The data were fitted with a logistic regression model using holdout validation to assess the quality of model classifications. Individually, all four measures were significant; when considered together, only three measures were significant predictors for level of expertise (p less than 0.05). Overall percent correct in shot classification for the testing data was 90.0%, with a sensitivity of 67.5%, and 96.0% specificity. (Contains 9 tables and 1 footnote.)
