Historically,.the.aviation.industry.expends.significant.amounts.of.time.and.resources.training.and. retraining. its. workforce. to. perform. psychomotor. and. cognitive. maintenance. tasks. necessary. to. keep.aircraft.safely.flying.(Ott,.1995)..The.industry.continues.to.dedicate.a.substantial.amount.of. its.effort.and.capital.ensuring.that.its.workforce.is.prepared.to.maintain.modern.and.complex.aircraft.systems..Despite.the.rapid.advances.in.computer-based.training.technologies.(e.g.,.augmented. reality.[AR]),.aviation.maintenance.workers.presently.participate.in.job.task.training.in.traditional. face-to-face.settings.that.would.be.familiar.to.aviation.maintenance.workers.from.generations.past.. Changing.the.manner.in.which.aviation.maintenance.workers.are.trained,.with.the.goal.of.capturing.the.positive.effects.associated.with.computer-based.training.technologies,.has.the.potential.to. optimize.training.
