Abstract

The aim of the present research was to determine whether a brief, domain agnostic team training intervention could improve the teamwork of newly formed teams. Eight teams of five participants received training in submarine command and control before being randomly assigned to receive either a teamwork training intervention, or a cognitively matched control. Teamwork behaviors were measured during task performance pre- and post-intervention via observer-rated frequency counts. Preliminary analyses suggest that teams who received this novel intervention improved teamwork behaviors to a greater extent than control teams.
