A Study on Technical Skill Learning Processes in Micro Manipulation Tasks using Simulator

我们开发了一个微操作系统模拟器（MMS），我们在其中构建了一个微世界和一个在计算机中处理微物体的装置。我们利用MMS模拟基因操作、内镜操作、显微手术、VLSI检查和修复过程，通过实验明确了微操作任务的技术技能学习过程。研究结果表明：(1)心理模型在学习过程中起着重要的作用，(2)初学者和中期学习者的心理模型不同，(3)听觉反馈信息促进了心理模型的形成，(4)MMS可以有效地研究该技术领域的微操作任务和人机界面的技能学习过程。此外，我们还开发了一个系统来记录操作任务中的生物特征指数。我们得到了一些指标来了解算子的学习阶段。

We have developed a Micro Manipulation system Simulator (MMS) in which we have constructed a micro world and an apparatus to handle micro objects in a computer. Using MMS, We have made experiments to make clear technical skill learning processes of micro manipulation tasks simulating gene operations, endoscopic operations, micro surgery, VLSI check and repair processes. We have confirmed that(1) in the learning processes mental models play important roles,(2) beginners and middle stage learners have different mental models,(3) auditory feedback information promotes to form of mental models,(4) MMS is effective to study skill learning processes of micro manipulation tasks and human interfaces in this technical field.Also, we have developed a system to record biometric indices in the manipulation tasks. And we have obtained some indices to understand stages of learning of the operators.
