The education of attention as explanation of variability of practice effects: Learning the final approach phase in a flight simulator.

Abstract: The present study reports two experiments in which a total of 20 participants without prior flight experience practiced the final approach phase in a fixed-base simulator. All participants received self-controlled concurrent feedback during 180 practice trials. Experiment 1 shows that participants learn more quickly under variable practice conditions than under constant practice conditions. This finding is attributed to the education of attention to the more useful informational variables: Variability of pract… Show more

“…Achieving such knowledge would be interesting for theoretical reasons and because it may form the basis of more advanced training methods, for instance if this or a similar system is to be used as an assistive device. This is so because, if knowledge about variable use is available, then training methods can be based on the manipulation of the usefulness of the variables typically used by novices so that these graduate more quickly toward the variables typically used by experts (see [32][34] for applications of this methodology in other sensory domains).…”

“…Adults exhibit more finely tuned interception skills with practice, even over relatively short periods (Camachon et al, 2007; Montagne et al, 2003), and variable practice is more beneficial than consistent practice (Huet et al, 2011). We examined how consistent versus variable practice with speeding up or slowing down to intercept the blocks affected 10-year-olds’ performance on the interception task.…”

“…In the one-dimensional cart-pole version of the task, availability of proprioceptive information about ' An exception is a recent study by Huet et al (2011), which provides an application of aspects of the information-space approach to the landing of aircraft in a flight simulator. pole motion is further limited by the fact that only the cart is touched (cf.…”
