The Retention of skills acquired through simulator-based training / John M. O'Hara

Sumario: This study examined the loss of skills across a nine month retention period following a simulator-based training programme developed to enhance the watchstanding skills of merchant marine cadets. The mitigation of decay as a function of a retraining experience was also evaluated. Generally, the results indicated that: (1) watchstanding skills improved following training; (2) skills declined over the nine month retention interval; and (3) refresher training was effective in terms of skill loss mitigation for some skill areas
