Intended for use by managers and developers of Army training, this report provides an introduction to "smart technology," which represents the application of cognitive and computer science to Army training problems. Differences between "intelligent tutors"--a major component of smart technology--and conventional computer-assisted instruction (CAI) are discussed, with emphasis on the current status of intelligent CAI. Abstract concepts from cognitive and computer science are discussed in the context of specific projects that represent both the long-term promise and the current status of smart technology: (1) the exploratory development of a prototype smart tutor to train high-level diagnostic and troubleshooting skills for repair of a complex reprographics system; (2) development of a smart tutor to train technicians in maintenance of an Army radar system; and (3) the development and implementation of CAI courseware for the U.S. Army Engineer School that takes advantage of both current knowledge of human learning and more advanced computer technology than is employed in conventional CAI. Also discussed are efforts to replace some obstacles to learning that are embedded in conventional technical instruction with embedded facilitators, which include the creation of problem-solving contexts. It is anticipated that this application will produce a stream of smart facilitators that can be embedded in PLATO or any conventional CAI. An outline of projected efforts by the Army Research Institute (ARI) to make smart technology a standard tool of the Army training community concludes this report. Thirteen references are listed.
