Assessing the Impact of a Dynamic Intervention within a Perceptual Discrimination Training Module

Abstract

The use of multimedia training methods for improving learning outcomes has been examined in recent years. Commonly, two types of multimedia training (static media and dynamic media) have been utilized for learning facilitation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact that both dynamic image training and static image training has on perceptual skill augmentation and performance on a visual approach aviation task. The results indicated that there were no significant differences between the two types of training on accuracy on a visual approach task. However, a significant difference was found between the static training group and the control group. The results suggest that although the visual approach is a dynamic maneuver, using static images during training is a practical method for visual skill refinement and learning differences between glide slope angles.
