Moderators of Skill Retention Interval/Performance Decrement Relationships in Eight U.S. Air Force Enlisted Specialties

“…This reflects the fact that WTPTs were designed to include a greater proportion of difficult, as compared with easier, tasks (see Laue et al, 1992). Task Experience means indicated that participants were moderately familiar with the tasks they performed in the WTPTs.…”

“…The major purposes of this project were to link 3-7 enlistment standards to on-the-job performance and to explore alternative technologies for measuring job performance. The conceptualization, design, and execution of the JPM Project has been discussed extensively elsewhere (Hedge & Teachout, 1986Kavanagh et al, 1987;Lance, Teachout, & Donnelly, 1992;Laue, Hedge, Wall, Pederson, & Bentley, 1992;Ree, Earles, & Teachout, 1994;Teachout & Pellum, 1991). Thus only the particular aspects of the JPM Project that are relevant to the present study are highlighted here.…”

“…Fourth, candidate tasks were reviewed by SMEs in "task 3-8 Work Samples 9 validation workshops" (see Laue et al, 1992) to insure that constituent task steps were observable and that they could be scored unambiguously as being completed correctly or incorrectly. The purposes of this selection criterion were to insure that (a) discrete task steps were directly identifiable and observable by work sample administrators, and (b) performance on each task step could be scored as correct or incorrect according to specified criteria, thus minimizing potential ambiguities in scoring work sample test items that Borman and Hallam (1991) had identified earlier.…”
