Learning Transfer
This refers to applying learned skills to real-world job tasks after training
This strategy includes watching others doing the task
What is behavioral modeling?
This type of feedback is most beneficial for new learners
What is immediate and specific?
The most rigorous evaluation design for training programs
What is the Solomon Four-Group design?
Training tools that simulate real challenges and provide feedback about the impact of decisions that learners make during training
What are serious games?
The process of adapting skills to different types of situations
What is generalization?
This strategy includes having trainees act out various scenarios in order to make them practice learned skills in real-time
What is role playing?
Support involving encouragement, motivation, and interpersonal support
What is affective (emotional) support?
This provides an estimate of the value of the training intervention for the organization
What is return on investment (ROI)?
This technology creates immersive environments in which learners can make mistakes safely and in response to different types of situations
What is virtual reality training?
A training approach that encourages mistakes and exploration
What is error management training?
Practicing beyond initial mastery to make skills resistant to decay
What is overlearning?
Support involving help with actually completing job tasks
What is instrumental support?
This validity checks if the training materials match the requirements of the job
What is content validity?
A computerized system that can identify and respond to individual learners' needs
What are intelligent tutoring systems?
An effective learning strategy in which learning is not completed in one single, massive amount of time (i.e., cramming)
What is spaced practice?
The idea that training is most effective when it mirrors job tasks as much as possible
What is the identical elements principle?
This refers to how positive or negative the feedback is
What is feedback sign?
This evaluation type is used to assess the pros and cons of the training (and identify areas for improvement)
What is formative evaluation?
The extent to which simulators match the way it feels to perform the task on the job (intensity)
What is psychological fidelity?
An effective learning strategy in which one repeated tests oneself over the material
What is retrieval practice?
This strategy asks learners to review different types of material during learning in order to more easily identify the contrasting elements
What is interleaved practice?
A self-management technique in which learners reflect on what they have learned and identify potential barriers to transfer
What is relapse prevention?
This evaluation technique follows those who have taken the training and are subsequently performing well to identify strengths of the training
What is the Success Case Method?
Which type of fidelity is least important to maintain to promote transfer to the job?
What is physical fidelity?
