ABSTRACT
This chapter represents the training task and establishes measures of performance within a training system. The chapter concludes with a discussion of computational psychology and future challenges for intelligent tutoring systems in training. The mental models and cognitive control strategies can lead to a concrete way of establishing effective behavioral strategies for use in training novices. The mental model construct has proved to possess an interdisciplinary applicability being proposed as an explanatory mechanism for human decision making and problem solving in a number of scientific domains, including: psycholinguistics, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and most subdisciplines of psychology. Advanced skills training often has at its center the learning of effective skills for decision making and problem solving. The construction of a Petri Net representation of the team task can be an effective aid to use in training individuals, not only in their own role in the team task, but also in establishing a mental model of the teams task.
