SGER: Training to Minimize the Decay of Knowledge and Skills

这个项目的重点是制订知识和技能的培训程序，使其在主要任务或背景变化后仍然适用，从而在平民生活和军队的紧急情况中产生灵活、有效和持久的表现。提出的实验检验在动态和变化的任务环境中的性能。将产生一系列复杂的并发任务，类似于拥有完全计算机化控制和通信系统的精通数字技术的操作员所遇到的任务。两个实验将在这个范例中进行。其中一个重点是并发持续时间估计任务，特别是在该任务中陈述性和程序性信息的不同遗忘功能。在第二个实验中，提出的记忆收缩原则将被测试，根据该原则，随着压力水平的增加，在给定的环境中最容易检索和使用知识的时间跨度会缩小。拟议的实验的更广泛的影响在于有效地利用长期存在的应急反应和反应的培训技能。这对所有参与国土安全的人来说尤其重要，因为培训很可能是零星的。

The focus of this project is to develop training procedures for knowledge and skill that will survive primary task or background changes and, thereby, produce flexible, as well as efficient and durable, performance in emergency situations both in civilian life and in the military. The proposed experiments examine performance in dynamic and changing task environments. A complex set of concurrent tasks will be created analogous to those encountered by digitally proficient operators who have available fully computerized control and communication systems. Two experiments will be conducted within this paradigm. One of them will focus on a concurrent duration estimation task, specifically the different forgetting functions for declarative and procedural information in this task. In the second experiment, a proposed memory constriction principle will be tested, according to which the time span from which knowledge can most easily be retrieved and used in a given context shrinks as stress level increases. The broader impacts of the proposed experiments are in the effective utilization of training skills for emergency response and reaction that persist over time. This is especially important for everyone involved in homeland security since training is likely to be sporadic.
