An evaluation of the effects of simulator training on ice management performance
This research offers practical insights into the relationship between amount of
training and ice management performance. In a previous experiment, it was
found that, on average, experienced seafarers performed better in an ice
management simulator than inexperienced cadets (Veitch, 2018). In a current
experiment, two additional groups of inexperienced cadets were trained for ice
management in either one or two sessions. The training included viewing
examples of expert performance and completing practice scenarios in a
simulator. After training, the cadets completed two ice management simulator
scenarios, one of which was the same as that used in the previous experiment.
Training was found to have a positive effect on ice management performance in
most scenarios. In the scenario used in both experiments, ice management
performance improved with increasing amounts of training and the results
demonstrate a proposed method for estimating the amount of training required to
reach a performance target
