The instructional features addressed are freeze; automated demonstrations; record and replay; automated cuing and coaching; manual and programmable sets of initializing conditions; manual and programmable malfunction control; atd-mounted audio visual media; automated performance measurement; automated performance alerts; annunciator and repeater instruments; closed circuit television; automated adaptive training; programmed mission scenarios; automated controllers; graphic and text readouts of controller information; computer controlled threats; computer managed instruction; recorded briefings; debriefing aids; and hardcopy printouts. Each feature is discussed, as appropriate, in terms of its operation, related features, instructional values, observed applications, utility (use-related) information, related research, and design considerations.
