This research effort explored methodological issues associated with evaluation studies that assess the effectiveness of training programs to improve decision-making skills. We conducted a pilot study to assess the usability of IMPACT (IMproving Performance through Applied Cognitive Training), a multimedia CD-ROM based training program that teaches Army leaders how to develop their subordinates' decision-making skills. Twelve captains at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point were randomly assigned to use IMPACT to learn new debriefing techniques or to use the Army's standard After Action Review techniques to facilitate decision-training sessions with 65 cadets. Although we found few statistically significant differences between trainees in the different conditions, the trainers reported that IMPACT is a valuable and highly usable training tool. Furthermore, we were able to develop an objective (multiple choice) test to measure decision quality, as well as a process that resulted in reliable ratings of decision quality from subject-matter experts. |
