Abstract
Simulator control groups are usually assumed to simulate unanimously and successfully any behavior which is under voluntary control. This assumption was found not to hold true for 2 simulator groups whose performances on various voluntary behaviors were more variable than those of a susceptible group. Simulators failed to simulate an average of 2.5 behaviors of 9 employed in both preliminary and experimental phases of the study. Possible reasons for lack of simulator reliability and its implications for use of simulating controls are discussed.
