Transfer of Training from One Monitoring Task to Another

Two experiments were performed to determine whether groups trained on a visual meter-watching task with knowledge of results (K-R) would detect more signals than a control group trained without KR in a later session in which a different watchkeeping task was used. The transfer tasks in the two exper...

Description
Summary:Two experiments were performed to determine whether groups trained on a visual meter-watching task with knowledge of results (K-R) would detect more signals than a control group trained without KR in a later session in which a different watchkeeping task was used. The transfer tasks in the two experiments consisted of detecting a brief interruption of (1) a continuously illuminated light, and (2) a pure tone mixed with continuous white noise. The group trained with KB did significantly better (p
