The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between reactions of cadets during simulated high altitude in a decompression chamber and the later development of anxiety toward flying as reported in terminal interviews. The results for 1540 cadets indicated that significantly more of those who withdrew because of anxiety toward flying had anxiety reactions in the decompression chamber than of those who completed the Naval Air Training Program.

Older adults in highrise buildings were recruited for memory training using positive (“build your memory power”), neutral (“learn memory skills”), or negative (“avoid memory failures”) content approaches which were: 1) printed on a poster mounted in a prominent place (CSA), 2) presented orally at a building meeting (PC), and, finally, 3) printed on flyers distributed to the residents (DC). There were more volunteers after PC with neutral or positive content, but the CSA respondents were more likely to complete the training. Negative content was most likely to attract persons concerned about age-realted memory decline. The discussion focused on the appropriate recruitment methods for particular intervention programs.

Training managers in the U.S. Army face a continuing problem of meeting increasing training demands with limited instructional resources, particularly qualified training personnel. In most aviation unit flight training programs, instructor pilots (IPs) serve a dual role of academic lecturer and in-the-cockpit instructor. To reduce the amount of IP time required to administer training in a reserve aviator training program, a 19-day training program was developed that incorporates home study and features of the Personalized System of Instruction (PSI). Forty-seven aviators were trained using this program. Following one year of no training, 24 of the aviators returned for refresher training using the same program. The results indicate that the home study/PSI approach reduces on-site academic training time and virtually eliminates IP time on academic topics. The results also suggest that an academic training program based on PSI can be used successfully while conserving the scarce instruction resource of IP time.
