Abstract

Future space exploration missions are expected to increase in duration with timelines as long as three years. Applying the current training paradigm to support longer duration missions reveals a substantial skill decay risk and an untenable training to mission ratio. The aim of this research is to address these issues by investigating customized interventions applied immediately before task execution for both previously trained and novel tasks. For previously trained tasks, we investigated the efficacy of self-made refresher videos, which are customized by the individual, versus the standard practice of simply reviewing task procedures. For novel tasks, we investigated the efficacy of customizable procedures versus standard procedures when used for just-in-time training. Two experiments were performed investigating the effectiveness of these interventions. The results were not statistically significant, but they suggest that there may be benefits to the interventions. Further research is required to quantify the results of the customizations and provide recommendations for training practices more accurately.
