Rule Learning and Systematic Instruction in Pilot Training

Four related lines of endeavor were pursued. Central to these activities was the research on algorithmized instruction as a form of rule learning and its effect on the acquisition of complex human behaviors. This theme was implemented in studies on the role of performance objectives in instructional systems design, on the role of self-evaluation and its relationship to performance measurement, on the use of computer models in defining algorithms involving rule-using behavior, and an observation regarding the use of the Pearson product-moment correlation in performance measurement.
