Abstract
Behavior modeling has become a popular training technique, particularly for interpersonal and managerial skills. Extensive research has been performed concerning the optimization of behavioral modeling, yet many unanswered questions remain, especially concerning the types of skills that can be effectively trained, recognition of key behaviors, and the use of technology to support recognition of key behaviors. This study investigates the effects of highlighting a display during a behavior modeling training intervention to increase cue salience of key behaviors. The results of this research suggested that the presence of a transcript to supplement modeling displays evoked a less time consuming strategy for performing a radar-based formation identification task. There are still questions concerning the role of highlighting textual information in behavioral modeling displays as an effective method for helping to make target behaviors more salient and for aiding in the recognition of key behaviors.
