“…In the maritime context, Carpenter (1984), listed the elements of fidelity as accurate math modeling of the ship's movement and accurate sensory inputs for the learner. These elements of fidelity map roughly onto the concepts of mathematical and functional fidelity expressed by Meyers et al (2018) and Macchiarella & Mirot (2018). Carpenter (1984) went on to express that the layout of the simulator's controls should mirror the layout of the controls on the ship as closely as possible.…”

“…Also working with flight simulators, Meyers et al (2018) broke simulator fidelity into three elements; physical, cognitive and functional. Their definitions for cognitive and functional fidelity were identical to those of Macchiarella & Mirot (2018) but they defined physical fidelity as the level to which the simulated equipment mimics the equipment used in the real-world task.…”

Abstract This paper examines, via literature review, the relationship between simulation fidelity and transfer of learning to the operational environment. This paper focuses on the application of simulation to medical, maritime and aviation training. The literature showed that, contrary to intuition, novice learners derived little benefit from high-fidelity simulation. There were even some indications that high-fidelity simulation could impair transfer for novice learners. The literature showed that expert, or near expert, learners required high-fidelity simulation for effective transfer. The literature also showed strong evidence that cognitive skill transfer required high levels of cognitive fidelity, but was mostly unrelated to physical and functional fidelity. There was little information regarding the link between psychomotor and procedural skill transfer and cognitive fidelity. Keywords: Simulation, fidelity, learning transfer, skill transfer

“…A critical element in current simulation technologies, in maritime and aviation, is high-fidelity so trainers receive accurate mariner and pilot training (Liu et al 2020;Myers III, Starr, and Mullins 2018;Tam, Moara-Nkwe, and Jones 2020). Although costly, the benefits seem clear when preparing trainees for real environment, as highlighted in (Winn et al 2006) students learning oceanography using field experience, even with little prior understanding could learn quickly.…”

Many maritime activities, such as loading, unloading and transporting cargoes, consist primarily of long periods of low-stress, with some moments of high stress during complex manoeuvres or unanticipated, dangerous, incidences. The increase in autonomy provided by machines and AI is beginning to take over certain tasks in the maritime sector, to reduce costs and mitigate human error. However, with the current levels of autonomous technology available, legislation, and public trust in the technology, such solutions are only able to remove majority of tasks associated with low-stress periods. In fact, many current remote control solutions still suggest relying on human operators to deal with the complex situations AI struggle with. Such a human-automation relationship could endanger the human element. The concern is that, if the human user is spending a disproportionate part of their time dealing with multiple, unconnected, high-stress tasks, without periods to de-stress, this could increasingly put workers at risk. This paper seeks to highlight potential technical, social, and mental, issues that may arise as the sector begins implementing semi-autonomous and fully autonomous maritime operations.

“…The first such limitation is that performance in a virtual environment is not always equivalent to real-world performance. One rather contentious issue in the Human Factors literature is the equivalence of virtual and real-world training for tasks such as piloting an airplane (Myers et al, 2018). Virtual stimuli can also be exaggerated either in the timing of their delivery or providing ambiguity in terms of their actual size.…”

Virtual Reality (VR) and human interaction with virtual worlds can greatly enhance communication neuroscience research. VR provides opportunities for novel approaches to empirical investigation. This chapter will discuss why VR and the varieties of virtual experience is of interest to communication neuroscientists. This leads to a discussion of multiple issues related to experimental implementation and cognition, and ways VR is useful to communication neuroscience. This includes multiple cognitive effects that provide opportunities for advancing research.
