The programed content consisted of both verbal and visual (i.e., photographs and maps) material, on four basic aerial observer skills. Criterion testing o g on target location indicated that the group of students receiving the experimental training made reliable learning gains, in comparison with a control group which did not receive the training. A reduction in time required to locate targets accompanied the increase in accuracy. On the average, study time for the selfpaced programed course was less than that required for the classroom version of the course (15 hours vs. 16 hours). (Author).
