| Popis: | Operation of heavy construction equipment is a cognitively demanding task, and training of operators is risky and costly. Advances in computer-based virtual training systems have emerged as a solution to limitations associated with use of actual equipment, effectively reducing risk and on-machine training time, and allowing flexibility in learning environments. We report an experiment that compared two training methods for the initial phase of learning to operate a simulated hydraulic excavator: (a) audiovisual instructions for teaching operation of controls, and (b) hands-on operation of the excavator. After receiving one or the other of these training methods, participants performed a Controls Familiarization test that requires execution of appropriate joystick control actions in response to verbal stimuli presented visually that correspond to the desired action (e.g., “Activate the bucket close function”). For both groups, the actions were executed faster and with fewer errors as they practiced... |
