TY - JOUR PY - 1982// TI - New technology for training: an evaluation of the air controller exerciser (ACE) JO - Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society annual meeting A1 - McCauley, Michael E.

SP - 758 EP - 762 VL - 26 IS - 8 N2 - This paper describes the evaluation of an experimental prototype training system called the Air Controller Exerciser (ACE). The system was developed to demonstrate the use of new technologies for training including computer speech recognition and generation, videodisc, automated instruction, automated performance measurement, syllabus control, and speech-interactive simulation. Empirical studies were conducted to determine the accuracy of the speech recognition system, validate the performance measurement system, and compare ACE with the traditional training program with a transfer of training test. ACE reasonably showed the potential for the use of new technologies in training. However, a number of changes and improvements would be necessary before ACE would be acceptable as an operational training system.
