Abstract
Transfer of training from a pursuit rotor to an epicycloid pursuit rotor was assessed by means of a response surface methodology (RSM) central-composite design. Number of training trials, time between training trials, and tracking speed of the training task were combined in a three-factor, RSM central-composite design. Multiple-regression prediction equations relating these three independent variables to trials to criterion on the epicycloid pursuit rotor were calculated for both an unreplicated and replicated RSM design. A representative first-order response surface was plotted for the replicated design. The results are discussed in terms of necessary RSM central-composite design modifications and the overall applicability of using RSM in transfer of training research.Keywords
