“…For example, in his research on transfer of training to work situations, Thalheimer (2005) noted that transfer of training is strengthened when the cues present in the work situation are represented in the training. Mautone, Spiker, and Karp (2007) similarly observed that game-based training is most effective when the cues and attentional demands imitate the situation in which the performer is expected to apply the training.…”

Task analysis in human performance technology is used to determine how human performance can be well supported with training, job aids, environmental changes, and other interventions. Early work by Miller (1953) and Gilbert (1969, 1974) addressed cue processing in task execution and recommended cue descriptions in task analysis. Modern task analysis appears not to include cues. However, given that human errors in task execution and poor novice performance have been related to failure to identify and process cues, embedding cues in task analyses is relevant. This article addresses the utility of task analyses that lack cue information. I reviewed the human performance technology and human factors engineering literature to investigate the effect of cue processing on task execution. This literature provided a task‐relevant structure for developing cue descriptions. Advice is provided for cue information in task analyses to support generation of performance support prescriptions.

“…In fact a large number of areas could benefit from synthetic training prior to live training, but in some areas synthetic training has no value whatsoever (physical fitness for example). Clear evidence by Mautone and Spiker (2010) showed that game based training can significantly improve results in certain types of training over conventional methods, but the skill lies in examining the type of training required and adapting a system to produce the best possible quality of graduate from the training within the resource constraints.…”

Aim. This article gives an overview of how commercial computer game technology was introduced for training, education and decision support within the British Army. Value of the article. It records the narrative of the introduction and development of first person shooter computer games into the British Army; an area where developments are not routinely reported outside the closed world of defence training. Methodology. The research was based on interviews of key staff who worked in procurement at the Defence Academy of the UK and for the MoD during 2002 to 2012. The interviewees included two officers, an experienced defence contractor and a senior civil servant. These interviews were given on the understanding that the views expressed would not be individually attributable as they might not represent those of their current employers. The authors were also given access to a unique collection of documents, some of which were not publically available, but are held in the archives of the UK Defence Academy. These are cited in the bibliography. Limitations of the article. This article cites the evidence from the time that supported the continued use of what was a radical and contentious new way of training. Since the introduction of Virtual Battle Space 2 into the British Army, further research into the effectiveness of games based training in the military has been published. Analysis. Games based training has become a significant part of the training cycle for many parts of the British Army. These games have limitations, but are the only alternative to real operations for some types of training. However, the difficult topic of what is the correct proportion of games based training to other types? is a contested area within defence training in the UK. Conclusions. Initial evaluations on the effectiveness of the use of computer games in preparing UK forces for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan showed they had a significant positive impact. The first experience of the British Army with these games has secured the long-term application of this technology and it is unrealistic to imagine future military training without some degree of games technology.

“…help decision makers recognize when they are manifesting a bias, and (3) teach decision makers to compensate for errors resulting from the bias. Training programs exhibiting these strategies have met with mixed success (Adelman, Tolcott and Bresnick, 1993;Mautone, Spiker and Karp, 2006).…”

“…Other mitigation strategies have relied on training in an attempt to: (1) sensitize decision makers to the conditions under which biases emerge, (2) help decision makers recognize when they are manifesting a bias, and (3) teach decision makers to compensate for errors resulting from the bias. Training programs exhibiting these strategies have met with mixed success (Adelman, Tolcott and Bresnick, 1993;Mautone, Spiker and Karp, 2006). Serious games are a promising approach to bias mitigation in critical thinking because they are likely to engage learners at a deeper level of involvement than some traditional and non-experiential tutoring approaches.…”

Approaches to Cognitive Bias in Serious Games for Critical Thinking

This Panel discusses decision and learning theory and application in the design of serious games to train people for bias-free critical thinking, particularly in analytical domains. The theoretical understanding of cognitive bias will determine the shape of the cognitive work that is entrained by the games. Panelists will describe an approach to bias mitigation training that is premised on a notion that reasoning strategies can have heuristic value depending on circumstances.
