Abstract
"Two companies of 162 Ss each were trained by the use of various combinations of concrete or abstract representations of terrain (a terrain board, two-dimensional slides and three-dimensional slides of the terrain), and concrete or abstract symbols (contour lines on two-dimensional or three-dimensional maps). Learning resulting from these methods was compared to the Standard Army method, and a No-Training (control) condition...the training method involving representation of terrain by two-dimensional slides, and presenting the symbols on a three-dimensional map, generally led to highest proficiency.".This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
